According to
http://www.the-digital-reader.com Kobo Touch will be available in the first of October and price will be 149€.
So in Germany price will be:
149€ = 212 USD.
I believe VAT is 19% in germany so price without the tax would be around:
121€= 172 USD
USA price:
90€ = 129 USD
Does anyone know if Kobo Germany is going to ship the device to another European countries?
..In any case it still might be cheaper for me to import this from US to Finland and pay taxes+custom fees..

“The retail partnership with redcoon starts in Germany, but is going beyond this market”, Schröer explains. “As Kobo expands to additional European countries later this year, redcoon will offer our products there as well.” Additional leading retail partners will be announced shortly."
Let's see where and when..
