They are now in the U.S. Not long ago Verse Pros were selling for $159 (less when on sale) and the regular Verses was selling for $109 on Amazon (via PocketBook's own store when on sale). Now the Verse Pro is up to $185 and the Verse is $139. I don't know if it's the new tariffs or what, but yeah — way too high of a price to be competitive, although it looks like Kobo's prices are jumping up also, on Amazon at least.
