Aye, for a sufficiently loose definition of 'interresting'.

I'm in the same boat as you are. Swiss price is 500CHF (USD 455), shipping is 65CHF (USD 60). Switzerland is not part of the EU and has a local tax of 8-9%. If that tax is not included, the CH price is 30% above the US. If the tax is included, the price is still 18% above the US price. Bookeen just took the median of the EU and US prices.
