I planned to buy a Kindle 3 (3g+wifi) in Europe (Belgium) long long ago, since it is quite easy to pay using credit card and ship it via Amazon.com. Last Sunday, I tried to order one on the site, unfortunately, the price I have to pay (254.08 USD) is much higher than the stated one (189.00 USD) on the site when I was ready to pay the bill. Here is the bill information.
Kindle 3
| Items: | USD 189.00 |
|---|---|
| Shipping & Handling: | USD 20.98 |
| Total Before Tax: | USD 209.98 |
| Estimated Tax To Be Collected: | USD 0.00 |
| Import Fees Deposit | USD 44.10 |
| Order Total: | USD 254.08 |
Order Summary in EURO
| Items: | EUR 136,15 |
|---|---|
| Shipping & Handling: | EUR 15,11 |
| Total Before Tax: | EUR 151,26 |
| Estimated Tax To Be Collected: | EUR 0,00 |
| Import Fees Deposit | EUR 31,77 |
| Order Total: | EUR 183,03 |
If I choose euro as payment, it is even a bit more expensive, because the exchange rate (EURO/USD) Amazon.com applied is lower than the current.
So I think it is too expensive to buy a Kindle in Europe.Applicable Exchange Rate (Amazon applied): 1 USD = 0.720 EUR, But 1 U.S. dollar = 0.693 Euro (Source from Google today).

电子阅读器我还是首选IPAD，界面和操作更加的友好
ipad屏幕不行呀，伤眼睛，kindle是e－ink技术。而且功能简单，不会分心。
我最近也在想入手这个东西，加上税和运费是有点小贵了，也许请去美国的朋友带来更好？
另外有谣言kindle 4要出来了，所以我还在观望中
不知让朋友从美国买下寄过来如何？不知，或者直接从淘宝买托人带过来。我非常喜欢e-ink技术，对眼睛好，还有，我喜欢东西功能简单，这样会更好，电脑无所不能，但看书肯定不行。
原来比itouch还便宜哦，早知道就买这个了
那得看你的要求是什么了。如果娱乐，当然是itouch莫属了。如果是看书，自然是kindle.
iPod touch 8GB1
FaceTime
Retina 显示屏
高清摄像
Game Center
RMB 1798 含 RMB 261 的增值税、关税及其他税金。
这么说来kindle还确实是便宜。我的kindle 3G+WIFI花了254美元，合1650元左右。
哈哈 ，研究价钱呢，你的Order Summary in EURO的第三项Total Before Tax:错了，应该是151.16的；基本上跟在欧洲的amazon的价格差不多了
要是有人去美国就好了，价格一样，单位不一样
Thanks, corrected. I am sorry for the small mistake.
