How on earth that prompted your question regarding my previously owned devices or the limitations of Sony is beyond me. |

Does anyone have a phone number for Kobo? I'd like to call them. Their website does not allow a US purchase to be made via PayPal. So in order to buy an Aura HD, it will cost extra as we will be charged a foreign transaction fee.

I don't see a foreign transaction fee on my credit card. Kobo has already hit my Visa for $169.99, transaction date 4/16/13, posting date, 4/19/13. Perhaps it will show up later?

You don't see it on your invoice. You see it on your card's statement. Kobo is a Canadian company. Thus any purchase from Kobo made in the US is a foreign transaction. But they do allow PayPal for eBooks. So why not hardware as well?

I know for a fact that the last time I bought an eBook from Kobo with my bank card, I was charged for the privilege. Using PayPal, I've never had a fee. |

I believe the fee structure for cross border fees in the States is different than in Canada and I am not familiar with it. |

How much would a transaction fee be? Like a buck? Don't be cheap and just pay it! Us Canadians need to pay $22 in taxes which you probably won't have to pay living in the US.

For the Kobo Aura it would be $7.06 + $15.40 = $22.46 Total cost with cover would be $242.44 |
