It's different with different products, though. I work at one of the larger electronics retailers in Australia, and our cost prices (incl. GST) are sometimes more than the cost of importing identical units from US retailers (freight and all).

Hold the press. The Collins Kobo online store has the Glo at $127.50 and the Touch at $102.84.
This makes the Glo actually cheaper in Australia that in Canada, by 13 Aussie cents (at today's exchange rate).
This also means I'll buy a Glo when they come out.
