To give us an idea of how seriously they took that geographical area of their e-business..............

I assume the Reader Store was available when they launched the PRS-500 in the US in late 2006. I started using the store in early 2007. These were the days before Sony supported EPUB. The Sony books were in a different format (LRX, DRM-encrypted Broadband eBook) so you didn't have choices in bookstores unless you wanted unencrypted or public domain. I seem to recall that they were advertising something like 10,000 books available at the time!
