And another place here had it for 345E !! i hate this price-hunting thing. I will probably just get someone to bring it from the US next time they visit.
Sad but true: Sony pretty much looked at the US prices in dollars, thought "Hey, those are nice figures!" and changed the $ into a euro for us europeans. My PRS-600 was E299.99 at bol.com, an official reseller here in the Netherlands. Likewise, the leather cover with light, $59.99 if I am not mistaken in the US, goes for a nifty E59.99 from that same store.

Amazingly enough I found that Amazon.com sells the 600 for it's US price, but does shop to europe - around $60 in shipping charges. And while that is steep, with the current rates $360 is around E245 which is a lot less than the E300 it costs here - though you'll have to wait a bit longer before you get it.

Slightly more ontopic: this post gives a neat overview of what a journal looks like on an (5" I think?) eReader.

Well, for the Sony Touch there is, at least, there's a list with your notes in chronological order noting book, date & page. No real way to sort them though - a feature I'm really starting to miss.
