Hi,

I am ordering a Cybook from Australia but I've noticed that its going to cost me a lot more to purchase the unit in Euro versus USD, but I cannot seem to change currency.

The unit is priced at $350 USD which converts to around $370 AUD, but when I say I'm from Australia it changes the pricing to 295 Euro which converts to over $480 AUD - that's a 30% increase in price!

Has anyone else from Australia purchased a Cybook? Can I request the transaction be completed in $USD?

Sean
