Same thing goes for e-readers. Like IndecisiveMe, I just ordered a Pocketbook 360, it arrived in 10 days and cost me $380NZ including shipping (and I love it!!). Unless local prices are competitive, I will keep buying in this global market.

Hopefully one day they'll realise that we won't put up with these over-inflated prices anymore. It's not that we don't want the products they're selling, it's that we refuse to buy them at the prices they're asking when we can get the exact same products for a fraction of the cost from other sources.
I'd much rather keep my money in Australia, and for a while I felt guilty about ordering stuff overseas, but in the end, I'd rather the money be in MY pocket, no matter where I have to order the products I need.
