Hi Shlomo,

If you order your books as eBooks, they'll probably be the same price as in 
the US because there's no shipping. I sell Troubleshooting books rather than 
Linux books, but when someone orders an eBook from me, they get it just as 
fast as a US person and there's obviously no shipping charge -- I email it to 
them. Personally, I don't sell within countries that don't respect copyright 
laws (China et al) so all non US orders are accomplished by my sending the 
customer a Paypal request for payment, but I'd imagine most booksellers just 
treat everyone the same.

I've ordered technical eBooks from these guys and was quite pleased:
