Just keep a couple of things in mind. The total cost to you is going to be little higher then at first glance.

Pocket Pro = $199
Shipping to EU = $40
VAT = £21+8 = €30

While you may get lucky and not get charged the VAT, you should plan for it. So the total cost is going to be €180 which is a good price, but not as much of asaving as it seem at first glance.

Still it is good deal when comparing to the Bebook mini and the Cybook Opus which are €199 and don't include a carry case, which Astak include as standard.
I didn't find €10 worth the trouble for ordering internationally. (I payed €200,35 for mine, €1,35 for shipping )


$199 + $40 = $239 = €162, add €30 VAT, that makes around €190 (at the current dollar price)
