The All New Kindle - ripoff!
Carol Haynes:
The all new Kindle:
US Price $79
http://www.amazon.com/Kindle-eReader-eBook-Reader-e-Reader-Special-Offers/dp/B0051QVESA
UK Price £89
http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0051QVF7A
Yes now we don't even have pound for dollar number transfer!
£89 = $139
So the all new reduced price Kindle is nearly twice as expensive in the UK as the US!

"market segmentation" = "rape your customers as fast/hard as possible"
It's nothing new.
I could barely believe the mass-rape here in Australia. It's nutty.

Atleast they're selling it there. I had to buy my iPad at a premium from the grey market - (sans warranty!) Thankfully, I haven't had a single problem with it.

Here in this part of the world, we're ripped off no matter how and when you see it. Thanks to our government-price rape is beyond imagination.
Kindle Touch = 4900-RS+VAT+Import TAX+Delivery+LBT+Sellers Profit=10599/RS+* =220$
Kindle Fire = 9744-RS+VAT+Import TAX+Delivery+LBT+Sellers Profit=19,208RS+* =400$
+ Payment processor charges and other charges additional (Paypal is worst when it comes to currency conversion, we lose money here no matter how we do it). No fixed price for any electronic gadget.
