Kindle already a success in the UK - new rumors

Hot on the heels of recent rumors stating that Amazon had no plans to introduce the Kindle reader in the UK, the Sunday Times reports that in the very same country, the Kindle is already "rapidly taking on the must-have aura of Apple's iPod." Also:

Quote:
The new generation of electronic books – ebooks – has fired a revolution even before they go on sale in Britain. Such is the sudden success in the United States of the Amazon Kindle, a reading device capable of storing 200 books, that UK buyers are bidding for them on eBay in the hope of shipping them over. [...]

The Kindle, which is expected to go on sale in the UK later this year, has surprised US publishers and authors by how rapidly it has moved into the mainstream. [...]

Amazon has not decided how much ebooks for the Kindle will cost in Britain, but in America new releases and bestsellers, for example, typically cost $9.99 (£5), compared with £7.50-£10 for traditional volumes bought through the company’s website.

So, the Kindle, now again going on sale in the UK later this year? Ah, the rumor mill -- what a boring life we'd all lead without it.
