I think that the Reader should be useful to me even if there are some limitations on purchases. I have so many pdf books and it would be nice to be able to carry them along so efficiently.
Thanks again
Hi Has, I live in Riyadh. I bought my PRS900 from BH Photo & Video. Got it delivered here via UPS for $62 within a week. I paid with my local credit card (Fransi Bank).
I don't books from Sony Reader Store, but these things (geo restrictions) are easily fixed using a VPN provider. You can get these sort of services for $3-5 per month. It basically gives you a US IP address so to the Sony Story you appear as though you are using the internet from the US.
Send me a PM if you need more info.

Cheers,
