If you are going to purchase the eBook Sony PRS-T1, you must first decide which type of device ("American" or "Russian") do you prefer. All the advantages and disadvantages of both types of Sony PRS-T1 models can be found in relevant section.

1. Version for U.S. and European markets:

"American" devices are well represented in the section For sale of The-ebook.org forum. Many sellers offer delivery to Russia and other countries, they also offer all sorts of accessories and bonuses and a free alternative firmware at the option of the buyer. Some sellers additionally offer their own warranty. Below is a list of some of the approved sellers with relative links:

Also a lot of suggestions can be found in Russia at radio markets and in shopping centers (e.g., TC "Mitinskiy radiorynok" or TC "Gorbushkin Dvor" in Moscow). When purchasing you have to be sure with the right firmware version number, as in such places the e-books, intended for the Russian market, are also sold.

Sony Reader PRS-T1, designed for American and European markets, can also be purchased abroad, e.g. in USA. As a rule, even with shipping to Russia it would cost a little bit cheaper. Among the few drawbacks of this method of purchase - a mandatory prepayment, there is no way to test the device prior to payment, and a long enough period of delivery: a parcel from the U.S. to Moscow needs to be delivered normally in 10-20 days (Express mail) or 20-30 days (Priority mail). Another disadvantage is that you have to install the alternative firmware and additional applications for the Android yourself. Below are the most popular places to purchase e-books:
