So, that's 320$, makes roughly 250€...add 16% Import VAT for Germany and add shipping and you'll get it for a bit over 300€ here in Germany. It's cheaper than the Iliad for sure...^^
It's a real pity that import VAT is applied to just about everything here and that it boosts the price quite a bit or I might be tempted to get the V8 (or rather the Lbook) as a "second" to use where I won't take my Iliad...^^
For 250€ I'd really think about getting one...maybe the price will come down or somebody will start selling htem in Germany...we'll see...

But nice that there is somebody closer than China working on improving the device and selling it fro an affordable amount of money! Good work LVD!!!
