Hi Jason, Just FYI, your message was at the end of the thread you replied to and above 2 group footers so quite difficult to find.
Anyhow, it does seem strange that it is listed as $119 AUD because at the beginning of the description it still says that it is 25% off. I checked the Canadian app store and here it is $84.99, in the US it still is $75. As per Google, the Australian Dollar and the Canadian Dollar are just about at par right now and as a result I would have thought it would also be $85 Australian or at best it should be $90 Australian if $120 is the regular price and it is 25% off. I think normally it is also $120 here in Canada so the $85 sale price actually means it's almost 30% off. Considering we currently have to pay $1.39 or $1.40 canadian for 1 US Dollar, prices at the app store and iTunes store are actually a bit of a bargain since it seems apps and other content is only about 20% more in Canadian Dollars compared to the US Dollar. For example, if an app is 99 Cents in the US it's usually $1.19 here whereas if we had to pay in US Dollars and it was converted by the credit card company we'd pay $1.40 for the same app. Not a big deal for an app that costs a buck, but KNFB Reader at $75 US would convert to $105 or $107 and we get it for $85. I'd say you should write to KNFB about the fact that it doesn't seem to be on sale in Australia even though it says so in the app description, but of course it is the weekend and by the time you get a reply the sale is probably over.

I went to get the KNFB reader today for the discounted price. However, it was showing as costing $119.99. I thought it was only meant to be $75 until January 4? I don't think the exchange rate would explain that difference. Or is the discount only for within the US? Thanks Jason -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
