The GST replaced import duties and tarriffs on most things, so a final total of $203 is about right.

BUT!!! and this is a big BUT, those prices are based off retail price for Sony in the US. Sony would not import those units at their retail price. I think overall we are paying a little extra in comparison but not too much.

You're right, that is the big but.
At the moment, I can't find anyone selling the new sony readers in the US at a significant discount from list price, but I'm sure that will change.
That being said, at some point they'll be sold below RRP here too.
