I was also thinking that was true. As the rest of the world has gone epub I would expect that epub readers would sell more than Kindles. Somehow I don't like to fact that when you buy Kindle ebooks you purchase them in US dollars wherever you are and get slugged an International transaction fee. I am quite impressed that I get charged $AUD when I buy from Kobo even though they are in Canada
Maybe the sales of the Sony 650 has ben unexpectedly high for Sony or maybe they are going to add Wifi into it to compete with Amazon. Who knows ?
Kindles are also sold out until Jan sometime.
