It took Amazon two years to get the Kindle outside of the US. I am sure that we will see an international Nook in the next year, more likely less then that.

I know that when I was in New Zealand all of the security folks were able to recognize my K1. I actually talked with the Security Guard who was hand checking my bags (all people travelling to the US at that time went through secondary screening that included a hand search of all bags and wanding every passenger). He mentioned seeing many Kindles come through and how he was seeing a real increase in them. I asked if he meant e-readers all together or just Kindles and he said Kindles specifically.

New Zealand is one of the countries that Kindles are not sold in but the security guy could ID a Kindle and was very clear that he saw mainly Kindle's coming through security.

As the international Kindle spreads, I think you can count on an increase in the number of Kindle books that are available to non-English speakers. It will take a year or two but it will happen.

I would not be surprised to find that the Kindle quickly moves to the head of the line as an e-reader over seas.
