Missing something
Its Amazon that quotes this value to take out the hassles of paying later. Other dealers let the payee deal with this.

I guess from simple ratio of price vs duty on the kindle quoted above the tax may come to 30-35%. Depends on what the seller quotes as the price of the product.
You maybe better off asking someone to personally bring it to you rather.

That ridiculous import tax makes it a hard decision but a Kindle is still worth the trouble if you're serious.

That's an absolutely great point, by the way!

Before getting an e-reader I would suggest checking if this or that support your language.

ALL POCKETBOOKS do! Hindi (personally tested in front of the people on a show display at London Book Fair - people were stunned.

More options for you to check

2 years warranty

excellent customer service

My best regards

Its been great. Have been using it for almost 2weeks now and the device is great. Yet to fiddle with other setting (like rss reader etc) which i think i will be doing it this weekend.
Overall i am very happy with the device
