We were discussing e-books on BBC yesterday for The Strand arts and culture program--interesting that it was the Wylie deal that served as a tipping point in the UK news.

Interesting to me that in Africa the big issue is access and no technology, while in the US it's "Which of our 17 personal devices do I read books on?"
With Amazon UK gearing up for liftoff, looks like the ebook revolution is about to roll right over Europe and beyond.
