US price is $399
This converts to £271.
Add on VAT of 17.5% gives
£318
I assume the goods aren't shipped from the Netherlands but if so then you could subtract shipping costs. Also the DR800S doesn't have Wifi or 3G that the DR800SG has so it's a cheaper product but ...
The actual price in the UK is
£449
I assume the price difference of £130 is just additional profit. You can actually buy some e-ink ereaders for £130!
