VAT is 19.6% in France, so with a 1€=1.20$ rate this price would be fair,

That's why I put BIT in capitals: the current exchange rate is about 1,55 dollar for 1 euro. How the hell do you justify a 1 euro = 1 dollar practice with those rates?!
The least they could do is make up with it by giving decent after-sale service (still waiting for my new bookeen
)
