PocketBook 360 in Finland?
Is it possible to buy Pocketbook 360 from Finland?
If not can you recommend seller inside EU that ships to Finland so I don't have to worry about tolls? I would prefer big, well known, trustworthy company. |

Pocketgoods.de is a great choice, in my experience. You can buy seamlessly, and the seller is here in Mobileread if you want more information.

Out of curiosity will the US branch ship to Europe? I note it sells for $240 which is 176 EUR or £154. Is there a large shipping charge or is there a way of buying it for a similar price here in Europe?

Of course if company sends it marked as "gift" there is good chance that it will miss the toll. Or even better if you got friend in USA who buys it and then ships it to you it is possible to try avoid tolls. Since shipping costs about 40 euros I don't think it is really worth the trouble to try that. Last edited by Kameli; 04-15-2010 at 10:53 AM. |

Can you tell which company in Finland will be selling them?
EDIT: Also is price likely to be the same 239 euros as in Germany? Last edited by Kameli; 04-19-2010 at 01:16 AM. |

Any more accurate info about when it will be available in Finland? I am starting to suffer bad Pocketbook fever so wondering how soon it would be here.
Has anyone outside Germany ordered it from pocketgoods.de? I am trying to guess how long it takes to ship to Finland if I order form them. |

PB will be sold by Havulinna Oy. There will be totally localised Pocketbooks. In the meantime, you can still buy them at pocketgoods.de, who is sending to Finland, too.

Hello Kameli,
I life in finland and ordered from Pocketgoods. It works quite fine but you have to give you finnish mobile number when you order. They will send you a sms (in finnish) when and where you can pick up the parcel from Matkahuolto. I life in Helsinki, if you wanna see a PB 360 we can meet in a cafe or so.

I don't live near Helsinki so too hard to arrange meeting. I guess I have to trust videos and forums. Any problems with your PB 360 or anything that is not working as well as you hoped? |

Hei,
it took about a week to ship to Helsinki. So far I didn't had bigger problems with the PB 360 and I used it pretty much. I just do not recommend to install the beta-firmware. PDF with bigger images does not work really well since the screen is not big enough for this, but I expected this. |
