In fairness, though, the current exchange rate is €1 = $1.41, so effectively the CyBook is 41% more expensive in Europe than in the US. The VAT rate in France is only 19.6%, which only accounts for half the difference. However you look at it, it does rather seem that we Europeans are being charged some 20% more than Americans.
A question for you, Derek: I'm signed up with NAEB. Does that mean that I will be able to buy the CyBook from you at the US price?
