Hi. Im very interrested in getting an ebook reader, and have followed this thread for some time. I have a question for robertb:
Is there any european online shops where you can buy the ez-reader. It's pretty expensive to buy stuff from usa because you have to pay import duty (12%). After that you have to pay 25% vat also for the shipping fee. And Last you have to pay the postal service a +20$ fee for collecting the vat. So if the reader cost 300$ and shipping is like 10$ i'll end up paying 432,5$ which is quite a lot. at least for me :-)
