Just for that, kobo rocks IMHO !
As for fees, the payment clearly says : 7,59 €. My bank should not be adding fees for a payment in euro.

Will be interested to see how it works out for you. I one time had the bank hit me for the "foreign transaction fee" because I had bought airline tickets on British Airways through a French travel agency with the purchase denominated in euros. (I fought it and got it back, BTW.)
I think the rule is that they can't add fees for any transaction coming from within the EU, but they can for a charge in euros coming from outside the EU. That's how it was explained to me, anyhow.
Let us know how you fare with this one. I'm still waiting to see my recent Kobo purchase hit my US credit card statement. Though I have yet to get an e-mail acknowledgment from Kobo of the sale, so perhaps they are pondering the issue themselves. Normally I get an automatic e-mail with the amount they are going to charge on the credit card.
