I used Amazon just as an example. I have received items other than books from the States that weighed much more than this case would weigh for much cheaper. My first PRS-500 was mailed to China (which I bought off eBay) for about $15.00.
It is a common tactic. Give something a cheap price and then get the profit from excessive shipping charges. Tiresome. Nothing worse than paying a lot on shipping then receiving the package and seeing on the box that the actual shipping charge was half than what you paid.
