Sorry BeBook, but for that money people would opt for an iPad. I guess they don't really care as if someone wants a Neo they will look overseas and BeBook will end up with the sale regardless.

Hi Slicitious, et al,
I too, noted the AUD price when I connected to the BeBook website, and queried whether it was right or not. Part of their response is:
The price is so high because of extra duties and tarrifs in Australia.
My (as yet unanswered) response was in part:
"...our customs people do not levy any duties if the value of the goods is below AUD$1000, and from your email below, there is a suggestion that your online pricing includes the collection of any duties or tariffs on behalf of the Australian Government, presumably to forward to them.
I question the validity of your suggestion and pricing structure, primarily because any tariffs, taxes, import duties, and so on, would be levied against me, not you..."
I immediately started looking at PocketBook models.
Cheers,
