As the convertion between $ and € hoovers around $1.3 = €1, the price for eDGe is now set at above $770. However, if the tendency continues and we'll go back to $1.4 or even $1.5 per €1, the European price, €599, will be even more unfavourable. I hope the entourage's US store will allow shipping to Europe (and subtract any US taxes?!?) to avoid extra costs of double shipping or forwarding. There are already a few shops in the EU selling eDGe, but they can't compete with the US price expecially when buying in $$ is so much cheaper than in €€.

Internet info on eDGe promotion and publicity in the USA is amazing, so I can only wish you great sales for the incoming academic year.
