1000/100,000 Euros, not francs! Very typically French, a tradition that dates back to the centralization of the pre-revolutionary French monarchy. The reaction of French consumers will be interesting. Typically, they expect and even suport this sort of thing. But with globalization, the culture may be starting to change. |

What about kindle ebooks? Do they have to charge shipping for those? :D Forget a dime, charge the equiv of a penny or whatever they can, heck charge them a penny and then give them a penny for every book they buy. |

1000/100,000 Euros, not francs! is there a reason you act surprised? The French phased out the franc in 1999, almost 10 years ago. |

He changed the text — the original post listed the article as saying "francs," and I was correcting it, noting it should be listed as Euros, not francs. I notice that the post has been corrected to now read Euros. |

You’d think the Deliveryman Union would counter-sue. |

I suppose it is not by accident that the booksellers union is called a "Syndicat" |

Seems that it would be fairly easy to write an algorithm to discount the cost of the book by the expected shipping charge and it would probably be tax deductible as a cost of business. |

Or maybe they could charge a penny and then pay the syndicat’s court ordered tribute in pennies. |

Yeah, just as soon as the French government intervenes to block out the sun in favor of the candle-maker’s Syndicat. |
