@JSWolf: You should stop whining about the pricing policies. You are in the states, so buy it for a cheaper price than we europeans do. Be happy about it.

And for everyone else. There is more to setting prices than just tax, customs and warranty. You have to consider distribution channels, support possibillities and especially - what are the users willing to pay to maximize profit.

I personally dont like paying more than the rest of the world, but it is like it is. Now i say: Shut up everyone about the pricing, and start enjoying the Gen3 CyBook. Its a nice piece of hardware and i personally think its better than the Sony. (though i havent seen the 505 yet.)

So get a good ebook and start reading.
