Amazon launched its German Kindle-store today
Amazon has launched its German Kindle store today. Right from the start they are offering about 25,000 titles in German, which is about the same number of titles that are available from other sellers as epub titles. As book prices are fixed in Germany Amazon has no price advantage over other bookstores.
This will certainly give ebooks a huge boost in Germany. Personally I just hope that Amazon will not achieve the same dominance in that segment as it has in the US.
