More about shipping to Switzerland

However, if you've tried looking for one in local shops in Geneva or Zurich, you’ve likely noticed a trend: they are either out of stock or marked up to eye-watering levels. Smart Swiss readers are turning to the US market, where availability is higher and prices are significantly more palatable.

The Price of Color: Switzerland vs. USA

Why bother with international shipping? Because the "Swiss markup" is a very real phenomenon. Importing the Kindle Colorsoft from the US often saves you enough money to buy your next ten e-books. The trick is to have a tax-free US address to ship your Amazon order to, which eliminates US sales tax before the item even begins its journey to the Alps.

Always check the prohibited items list to ensure your specific region doesn't have temporary restrictions on battery-operated devices.
