Hi

I just received my Kindel last week, after my Sony got unfortunately bricked.
Living in Switzerland I had to order it from US what worked very well and was incredible fast.

Now first time shopping I was first surprised about all the books lacking in the European shop.

BUT the prices ??

Amazon must be fu***** kidding! I wanted to buy the German Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (German newspaper)

European store: 27.99 $

American store: 14.99 $

They must be nuts, double price for Europeans for a European newspaper ?
I just started to wonder now, is this usual principal for all books and so whatever ?
