Hey, simple dave, you have been gone a while.

I think the only place we've positively identified is B&H Photo, a number of folks have gotten Readers through them. If you want full details, check out this thread: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9393

As to why they're not currently selling outside the U.S., well, only Sony really knows, but the current theory is that it has to do with book distribution rights, specifically with Sony not having them outside the U.S. The reason that's a problem is that the Reader includes access to books (via Sony's ConnStore), whether you actually buy any or not.

Enjoy catching up, you've got a lot of reading to do.
