On a side note, for purchase of ereader (specifically the Aura HD) from Kobo.com, is there any shipping fee if buyer opts for the slowest method?
Also, on the part of sales tax, how does Kobo go about levying? Is it a flat rate (of ?%) or State dependent, e.g. about 7% for Ohio and 0% (tax free) for Oregon etc?
Appreciate if US folks can shed some light as I may need to engage external help to procure a unit, thus need to have a better grasp on the costs involved
