And the price for the Cybook to the UK, in their shop, is 200 pounds, not 180.
That's changed in the last couple of days, presumably due to the recent fall in the value of the Pound against the Euro. It was £180 earlier in the week!

But this comparing is a bit out of context, to make it correct one must compare the full price of the goods between options and that has to do with the costs of transport, if the customs of the arriving country check or not the VAT and other costs of customs etc,…
Yes, I agree with you there.
