That makes it cheaper than the Sony PRS-600, at £250, which is the natural device to compare it with. Plus, it's an additional £40 for a cover for the Sony, so you're looking at £242 for the Kindle + cover against £290 for the Sony + cover.
I'd say that's a pretty favourable comparison, personally.

£40! A cover here is €30, which would be at around £27.
A Sony 600 costs €299, add €30 for the cover, that will make €320
A Kindle costs $387,85 (I presume that's with a cover?), which is €264.

Yes, I'm curious about that. If it is imported from the US, from Amazon to you, you have to pay taxes over it. If, however it is imported from the US, from Amazon.com to Amazon.co.uk and
then to you, would you still have to pay taxes?
