If BN went international they would do massive amounts of business. The Nook Classic has pretty much te same features as the Kindle and it reads EPub. Since most of the non-English published books are, os far, EPub only, the Nook would be the prefect alternative to the Kindle.
Although I have a sneaking suspicion that Amazon's inability, so far, to sell foreign language books for the Kindle has less to do with format and more to do with laws that make EBooks more expensive then many folks would want to pay.
Keep in mind, it took Amazon close to two years to make the international move. I am sure it is more complicated then it seems.
