Hi, Laura.
I don't know all the details, but I think that if you buy some item in a country in the European Union, I think that, legally, the warranty covers the item in all the European Union.
For example: here in Spain, Sony does not offer the Sony Reader. But I think that if you buy one in the UK, you bring it back to Spain and you have any problem, Sony Spain has to send the device to the UK to be fixed.
Besides, I think in the European Union they have to give you a full year warranty.
You have to confirm these things, but maybe you can consider buying the reader to some UK ebay seller.
Regards,
L.
BTW: I bought a PRS-505 from B&H Photovideo more than a year ago and they gave me a perfect service!!
