Any recomendations on how i can go about importing it?
I wouldnt mind the price range of $255-$299. price is really important to me as im not the richest guy in the world.

There's a company called, I think, "BHPhoto" (or something similar) who will ship the reader internationally; many people outside the US have bought from them. (Anyone know the correct name???).
Do bear in mind that on top of the price of the Reader you'll have to pay shipping costs (probably around £20-30) and then, when it arrives in the UK, you'll pay import duty (7%), VAT (17.5%), and perhaps a charge to the Courier for doing all the tax stuff for you. You'll probably end up paying around £50 for all that.
ie the total cost will be around £80 more than a straight conversion of the US price of the Reader would suggest.
