I'm quite disappointed, you know, but... well, maybe I shouldn't: tomorrow's arriving my new Kindle!
Actually, it's a direct translation of the US prices ($179.99 and $229.99 respectively). The euro has been running about $1.20 lately and then you have to add 19 or 20% VAT by country.

For France, anyhow, $179.99 converts to 149.99€. Then you add 19.6% VAT to get 179.39€.
