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?
The biggest hurdle we have at this time is what kind of shipping to use and what, if any, import duties there are while going back to Europe... Lots of gray area there which we're muddling through.
