Chiron, could you tell us how much you end up paying in customs when you receive the reader? It would be much appreciated

RobertB, Chiron was refering to the fact that when you order something overseas from Mexico, you have to pay customs :

The percentage is based on the country of manufacture, that is China for the PocketPro and nearly all the others readers such as the Sony.

The percentage is normally 15% for China, but for specific categories of products it can go up as high as 533%

And I don't know in which category fall the ebooks Readers. Mexican Administration being what it is, the best way to discover it is probably to order one.
