A company can set whatever price it wants - you have the choice as to whether or not to do business with them. Personally I think the product is worth the price, and have ordered one. If you feel otherwise, don't buy it.
But, Bookeen has set a price and they would get that price at less of a cost to the consumer. So I don't see any problem paying in whatever conversion rate is best for the consumer as long as Booken gets the money it has asked. If paying in US Dollars is cheaper for the consumer due to the exchange rate, then I don't see why not.
