So how are they going to make there great assault?

[1] Surprise: the largest SF series on the planet does not have a name beginning with “Star” and it is not written in English. Yes, there is intelligent live outside the USA.

Well, they can sell DRM free on Amazon.com through DTP right now if they choose to (and I suspect that this service will be coming soon to .dk, .fr, .co.uk and other European territories after the UK Kindle store Launches in August). Amazon have locked down the US, now they're coming for Europe and they're coming first for the biggest market beyond the US; the UK. Next will be Germany, then France, then the rest of Union.
At the price point/feature set there's nothing out there that even comes close to the Amazon Kindle ecosystem from either a reader or an independent author's perspective.
