I thought they hadn't published a UK release date?

Yeah', they also haven't released an offical price yet, as these things never go along the lines of the exchange rate (also, in the states, tax is different).
I very much doubt they'll miss the christmas rush in the UK as localisation (language, the 'kindle store', payment systems) aren't an issue. Amazon are bit funny with numbers, like the current-gen Kindle is £111, so it could be anything, but I doubt it'll be over £150.

Or they can be imported for a resonable amount.

I'll wait til there's some reviews or a 2nd gen
so they've ironed out the kinks, but I really quite fancy one of them to be honest.

Yeah', I'd wait for a load of reviews too, but all the hands-on stuff I've seen says it's wicked.
They're really clever really, it's hardware that the average person can afford (maybe with a bit of saving), and they'll make their money on the books/magazines/movies/TV/apps (etc). It's like what Apple have done in that respect, but the hardware isn't silly money.

It's apparently really easy to use too, if it turns out how it's supposed too, I would actually recomend it over a netbook or low-end laptop for the basic user, even though it's not designed as a replacement but a supliment.
