Yes. If we want to buy an Amazon Kindle that will cost exactly 2x times the original price. It is the most expensive Kindle in the world (the second is India, with around 1.3x the original price). It is ridiculous.

Yesterday I was walking in front of an operator store (Vivo) and saw the first Samsung Galaxy (i7500) for sale. Unfortunately I had one i7500 a few years ago. The price: 899 BRL (around 578 dollars).
