I think we should support the European initiative and not even consider asking for a Kindle on the European market at least for some time. Let's see how it plays out.
I agree with Mattimatt.
At the moment, for readers outside the US, the Kindle is irrelevant. I wonder if it would even get past the EU's anti-competition regulations in its current form.
If it is seen as a threat to indigineous booksellers there'll be a lot of resistance.
