oh, I could sing a song about not being able to buy an iRex DR800 (and I live in Europe - but not EU) - it took me 10 days to finally find somebody in Europe who would sell the device to me, but they absolutely refused to take my credit card or accept a PayPal payment. So I did it the difficult way, made a bank transfer, waited another 2 weeks for the reader to arrive (customs took a while), but now I'm happy, reading on it every day (wondering if it really had to be THAT expensive - but oh what the hell

) and, honestly, I look back on the trials and tribulations of acquiring it with a smile
what I wanted to say is: don't lose hope
