As far as I remember on customs form price in AUD was higher than $1000.
So import tax was applied.

I've ordered on 10 December 2006 and got my device right after Christmas on 27 December 2006.

Generally I'm quite happy with the device - screen is very easy to read on bright sunlight and its much larger than my PDA screen (hx4700) I used for reading before Iliad. Considering that I'm reading quite a lot, its worth its high price.

The downside is that operating time is not that long as I expeced. I'm recharging my Iliad every second or third day on average. Currently you can't read CHM files and HTML format support is limited, so I had to convert lots of books from CHM into PDF.
