Calling Eastern Europeans - ebook reader question!

martienne · 11-13-2011, 08:32 AM

Hi! I live in Sweden and I would like to buy a Pocketbook Pro 912.

I think they are made in Ukraine, by a Ukrainian company. According to Google, they are only available to buy in "Eastern Europe". They are not any more specific than that.

I personally saw one this summer in a shop in Belarus, and also in Latvia. Latvia is in the EU, so that is good news, no import duties into the EU! Unfortunately I can't travel to Eastern Europe right now, so I need to buy online.

I would like to find an EU based online shop that sells this ebook reader and could ship it to me... Unfortunately I can't speak any Eastern European language (other than bad Russian), so it's hard for me to research this! Without local knowledge and language skills I could easily make a mistake or use a dishonest vendor.

If anyone can help with a recommendation of where I could get hold of this online, it would be super. I am primarily interested in something EU based (to avoid import duties) but anything is of interest.

you'll find info on this in the Pocketbook forum - in Europe the pre-orders are already shipping if ordered from here:

but checking just now it looks like the dark ones are already in stock.
