I cancelled my UK order. I was willing to pay the premium price (once you factored in tax and import and a cover it was about $430) but the book choice in the UK is not good enough to justify that.

I'm interested in WWII history and doing a search in the US store showed they have many of the standard texts on the subject. However, switch to the UK and they vanish and all that's left is third rate trash similar to that which they have elsewhere.

On that basis (and given I already have a 505) I'm content to wait it out until it comes to the UK store and there is a much better selection of books.
