I'm from Portugal, a little more than 2 hour flight from the UK. I've ordered books from amazon.co.uk, which usually only take 2-5 days, no express shipping needed.

So, I was thinking about buying a K3, specially because without the more expensive delivery costs and custom taxes, it really was a temting piece of business.

Unfortunately, the site says non-uk customers must order from US.

You just lost an impulse buyer, Amazon.

But why this restriction? The logical think would be to allow european clients to buy from the UK (or FR, DE) stores!
