Yeah, I think I've settled with getting a Kindle now. Thanks!
Hopefully the import fees won't run high. |

Okay, I just saw that the Nook is also available in Europe? Considering it's the same price, is the Nook better? I actually prefer the design so...

Nah, actually I still prefer the simplicity of the Kindle 3.
Also FYI perhaps for people wondering about the custom fees I think I found a pretyt good source saying that in total the Kindle will be €150 (import & shipping). Great price, imho. |

I obviously can't test loading them onto a Kindle until mine arrives, but Calibre certainly seems to have done its thing. The whole process was quicker and simpler than I anticipated. |

I'm not familiar with the Nook store but get the impression that Amazon has a wider selection of books. |

To the best of my knowledge, the nook is not available outside the USA (and perhaps Canada).

I paid $375 when I ordered my K2 in 2009 that included priority shipping and VAT, no other charges incurred. The shipping took 2 days and the package was delivered to my work place.

Curious did you go for Kindle 3 or Kindle DX 3? I see in your profile that you've got Sony devices from before, what maid you go for the Kindle? Looking forward to hear about all user reactions when the K3 finally arrives. Good luck with your Kindle.

Well i'm in France, and the kindle is : 189$ + 20$ shipping + 40$ import fees deposit, so it's more like 250$, which is about 190 €, plus the few euros your banks will take in the operation of course. I don't really see how it could be 150€, which would almost be the price of the Kindle itself, without shipping and the famous import fees deposit.

I think the Wifi version could be had at that price since it's only $139 to begin with: 160$ (w/ S&H) + 20% VAT = 192$ = 147€.
