Title: Exchange rates
Product review: I've seen the Kindle and I love it. Great idea, well executed. I've decided to wait to get one rather than get one of the other readers on the market as I thought it would really be worth my while. So now as an Amazon UK customer I was delighted to see I could finally get my hands on one. So I go through the ordering pages expecting to see a few extra charges because it has to come from the US, but what I was not expecting was the price of the unit itself. At the time of writing this, the US price is $259 which google tells me is about 155. This doesn't match very well with the listed price of over 322. With shipping and 'Import Deposit' it comes to 390. Or about $650. I know early adopters get stung on price, but that mark up is a piss take.Bye, bye Kindle.
