Hi Shlomo, If you order your books as eBooks, they'll probably be the same price as in the US because there's no shipping. I sell Troubleshooting books rather than Linux books, but when someone orders an eBook from me, they get it just as fast as a US person and there's obviously no shipping charge -- I email it to them. Personally, I don't sell within countries that don't respect copyright laws (China et al) so all non US orders are accomplished by my sending the customer a Paypal request for payment, but I'd imagine most booksellers just treat everyone the same. I've ordered technical eBooks from these guys and was quite pleased: http://www.pragprog.com/ HTH STeveT Steve Litt Recession Relief Package http://www.recession-relief.US Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/stevelitt _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
