Most German buyers would be glad if eBooks from libri.de or thalia.de for the Sony Reader would be priced at about 10 US$.

Currently the best-selling book one of the "Twilight" series by Stephanie Meyer is tagged about 29 US$ ... the same price as for the hardcover version. Now that's where a boycott would make some sense!

Especially since the original US-version at Fictionwise is sold for about 12 US$.

Also, I've got a personal boycott against Ferrari. Until they start charging $9,999.00 for a car, I'm not buying one.
And they don't even have a built-in eBook reading device. The nerve of those mechanics!
