Tommy, what reasoning? What dollar, US or AUS?

If I go to the Bookeen website, I initially get quoted in GBP. If I sign in as an Aussie, I get quoted in Euro. If I sign in as an American, I obviously get quoted in USD.

Converting to Australian dollars, here's the difference with the basic package:

269GBP = AUS$569
350USD = AUS$405
295EUR = AUS$502

Australian-sourced price = AUS$599

(none of the above include delivery costs)

So, for us, the reasoning seems on the surface to be near-$100 difference between the EUR export price and the USD export price on the base package (the deluxe figures are below my signoff). Thus, the questioning desire to purchase in USD.

Cheers,
Marc

Deluxe price:

349GBP = AUS$739
450USD = AUS$521
380EUR = AUS$648
