Unhappy Purchasing an M96 for Australian addresses

Hi there!

I'm a Uni student/PhD candidate looking for a device to read large form books and academic papers. Android suits me well and I have a good chunk of experience with it - so modifying/creating the apps I need shouldn't be an issue. However, I can't seem to buy the device to ship to Australia!

Amazon flatly refuses and Onyx-Boox.com wants to charge me in the order of 450 AUD for the privilege. Is there anyway I can get the device for something resembling the market price?

Thanks!

Well, you could try ereader-store.de. (Disclaimer: This is not an advertisement)

They were able to ship it to Singapore for me.

Although I must admit, the EUR 51 (shipping) + 7% GST (on price + shipping) + currency conversion made it a lot expensive in the end. Believe me, that figure of 450 in comparison looks cheap.

Youch, that seems pretty steep! I think if I can't get the device for something closer to the ~330 ish Amazon sells it for I might just wait and see what that Pocketbook 13.3" CAD reader device turns out to be. Rumor says it's going to end up at about the $400 mark.

Thanks for the reply though! ereader-store.de ends up at around $400, not including the conversion fees. Still very pricey, but better.
