If the average income is the same in the UK, I would charge the same price too.
Minimum wage in MY country is less than $4600 a year.
So, according to your logic they should be selling JetBook in my country for $50.

Yet, EVERYTHING is more expensive here than in USA. Even software, like windows, MSOffice, AutoCAD and countless others are significantly more expensive here. Because the prices were set when the exchange rate for dollar was much higher and why would Microsoft lower the prices when people are buying Vista like never before.

Now, try asking me if I think that $25 is a fair price for DRM-crippled e-book
