Not sure where you got the $800? The Boox has many different models so specifying a price without a model wouldn't make sense, so I assume you were referring to the RM2. The RM2 is US$400, which is expensive compared to e-readers, but is not $800. And BTW, yes, it is annoying how USD are just assumed, but that is our reality for better or worse (and I'm not an American).
