If Amazon wants to be a global player it has to play globally. Not restrict its offers to one relatively small country of 300 M inhabitants vs. a global population of 6,800 M.
In what sense is the third largest nation by population "relatively small"?
Read before you quote.
It's not unreasonable for them to start out small and work their way out, especially given that their multinational basis makes them particularly vulnerable to countries like Germany which would happily sue if Amazon doesn't correctly censor what's available.
Why would they sue the Kindle more than the paper books that Amazon happily mails to Germany from their US store? And why would they sue the Kindle more than the Sony?
In any case, your complaints are moot; the Kindle is available to you now.
I already own a Sony now. So you can either present me with a Kindle or wait til the Sony breaks. -- Marcello Perathoner webmaster@gutenberg.org
