The only difference is that you don't get a case.
Since when? I just went to Bookeen... specified I was in the UK and the price shows as £200. US price shows as $350 and France price shows as €280.

As of right now €280 = $357. If I could get a CyBook for $224 I would certainly have moved it much higher in my consideration.

BooksOnBoard though does right now have a US$ price of $289 ($61 less than buying direct.. and I bet shipping is less). (Case and charger add $100 which seems alot)
