The Kindle Touch WiFi without ads costs $139 in the US. That's £86 at the current exchange rate. Add 20% VAT and you get £103. The actual UK price is £109, which seems reasonable enough to me. Do you regard a £6 "mark-up" as particularly outrageous?
Do Amazon not add sales tax to their us pricing then? in any case the lack of library support in the UK kills the kindle for me, it's a shame because I like the new touch
