In the UK ereaders are more expensive than US. Are they more willing to purchase two devices if unhappy with an ebook store?
Once someone there buys a kindle, Amazon has them probably for a long time especially if their library doesnt have Overdrive. Are Waterstones and WH Smith unhappy with the higher costs of Sony and PB products?
I wonder if the epub retailers should subsidize the Sonys and PBs by a special promotion somehow to gain future customers.
