Why I'm not going to buy eDGe... at least in Europe... (a few words about pricing)

Yes, but that's not the point... We want EE for everyone, not for a few lucky guys who find EE on ebay (or anywhere else) secondhand.

With this price a) EE can't compete at the EU market, and b) you'd be "stupid" not to have it farwarded from the USA instead of buying it in Europe.

OK, I think we've finally reached the bottom. Or at least I hope € isn't going to gain any more over $.
Late October gives us:

€599 = $836...

So nearly $20 rise since September and $75 more than in June.
If there is no direct shipping from entourage to Europe, EE stands no chance against new tablets from China, which you can buy for $150-200 (free shipping). And these are Android 2.1 and android 2.2 has just arrived, but for those tablets you need to pay a hefty $200...

I'm from The Netherlands, I found the Edge online because I was looking for a good ereader. And to my surprice it's sold here in stores. Not widly spread but still I got to see it in real life before buying it. Over here it is €599,-. Sure it's not cheap but I think it's worth it. I like it very mutch. It's just so mutch more then the ereader I wanted. Now I can watch my favorit comics digital to. I take it with me every were.
