It isn't so much that they are losing, as that they aren't fighting.
The UK is the only European country that Amazon are actually trying to sell Kindles to. Last year your statement would have been true of the UK as well, but once Amazon decided it wanted to be in the market, it came in with a bang. Who is to say that the same wouldn't happen if it targeted Germany or France next?
