Corriere della Sera - Kindle Edition

http://www.amazon.com/Corriere-Della...7544736&sr=1-1

The most read Italian newspaper, the Corriere della Sera, is readable on the Kindle.
But the Kindle is not sold in Italy.

Other newspapers going "e" have chosen, obviously, other devices, mostly iRex's.
So I wonder: what's behind that move?
I suspect something...

Is it the definitve nail on Irex, Cybook and Sony coffin, at least for Italian marketplace?

I wouldn't suspect anything more than that there is a market for that newspaper among U.S. citizens of Italian descent or otherwise interested.

We, as a company, are in charge of going ePaper with La Stampa (on iLiad, DR1000 and 6 inches devices in a second phase). It looks like by Amazon they want to offer in the US market some international newspaper, nothing less nothing more, I think.
