I'm not sure I agree with this HarryT - It's likely that if the Kindle is successful it'l be in Europe next year - you just have to look at Amazon's MO of rolling geographical deployment of their services.
As for MobiPocket (non-Kindle) being global, yes ... but it's still a fairly small business in an niche market, Amazon had the chance of taking their format wholly into the mainstream, sadly they have effectively branched their own product MobiPocket(Kindle) and MobiPocket(NonKindle).
