Whatever the tax situation, it seems to me that Kindle buyers outside the US will not only pay the high pre-reduction price for the reader but will also be stuck by Amazon with a two dollar surcharge on each book 'bought' from a Kindle bookstore with georestrictions on thousands of titles. It will sell, of course, because it'll get the same media hype it did in the US -- even though (in my opinion) better readers have been available for years in 'the rest of the world'. Neil
