This is why I don't do the traveling, even though there's some books I'd really like to get that aren't available in the US. It just seems too complicated, with too many little things to remember / discover too late you didn't know about. They may all be covered in this thread somewhere, but the info is scattered across several hundred pages.

I'd been getting the gift cards from Australia and Canada. This way some of the fees are avoided - some cards charge a per transaction fee - this way I got charged only one transaction for as many books as CAD$100 can buy...
