I've read that the PRS-T1 is now being sold in the USA for $129, yet Sony UK are up to the same old trick of co9nverting the $ sign to a £ sign and charging £129 in the UK.
$129=£80 (approx) add on VAT at 20%=£25, so total price should be about £105.
You can kiss bye bye to my custom, $ony, until you such time as you stop useing we Brits as cash cows and sell us your goods at the same price as you sell to your American customers.
