The cost is €120, plus whatever the shipping costs are.

That's your decision. It's certainly a lot cheaper than buying a new machine!

I think for US it is €100 + shipping. It's definitely worth fixing. I just got mine back from them and it looks like new!

It's definately cheaper then buying a new device. It's going to cost roughly $136 not including shipping to get it fixed. A new device is over $200.

Just got mine back. It was a warranty repair. The video driver chip had failed.
The interesting thing was that it was repaired and returned to me. I was some what surprised to find the pid was the same.:-) I was quite shocked to find that UPS wanted over $60.00 to ship from California to France.:-o The post office was cheaper and slower.LOL I am very happy to have it back. I was going out of my mind trying to read from paper books. I like to read over lunch. Much more difficult with a paper book. Mel W. |

As a counter example, I can ship to Russia and Ukraine and it takes maybe 2-days to clear customs as a rule and last year 95% of our EMS deliveries arrived in under 7-days. Japan, pretty much there is at most a one day delay. Items I ship there arrive in around 5-days max. Of course because of the value and items I ship I set our policy to use only EMS...except to Italy where it makes no difference at all only more problematic from an insurance POV. Another carrier worth considering, though not cheap, is DHL. We have had excellent results with their international and domestic services when we needed to use them. Unfortunately they are not doing US domestic shipping any longer... Something to think about, sending something 9,000-12,000 (or whatever the real number) around the globe for just $60 is not that expensive for the service. |

After two weeks and $165.00 I am happy with results. As for repaired or new, it is new as this one has 512 memory.
