I thought import duties only over 150 euros value, but you may be correct. The entire package, including postage is about 137e. Now I have an additional 50e payment due!

Or it could just be one more gratuitous payment to the Greek govt....

Although, as I said, the Kobo Glo HD sells for 180e in Media Markt store in Germany, without case. So, considering it is not even sold here, I didn't do so badly. I could've gotten it other ways, or waited a few months till I go to USA - just impatient!

The important bit is if I feel it is worth it! I bought the Glo last year, on a whim, when it was on sale. Absolutely love it, size is perfect. Hope I enjoy the HD as well. I read at least 3-5 hours a day so cost is well justified.
