Now that residents in the UK have access to the Kindle 2, what do you think is the best deal for a new ebook reader there?

After fees and shipping the Kindle International costs a total of £215 - £223.

The PRS-600 sells for £229 and the PRS-300 sells for £159, both before checkout.

BeBook costs £199 for the 6 inch and £179 for the 5, both priced before checkout.

The Cybook Opus is £215 from Bookeen's website, although I've heard it's supposed to sell for £199 somewhere else (I forgot where).

So what do you think the best option is? Kindle has free wireless, but it's only for Amazon.com's ebooks--for now--and you can only buy ebooks from them.

The rest work with Adobe Digital Editions and offer pretty much the same DRM-ed reading material, but with much less titles to choose from than Amazon.com.

Which one would you buy?
