I am curious. Is the selection of ebooks in the Amazon UK Kindle store better than the selection of ADE ebooks from places like Waterstone's and WH Smith? The ADE bookstores have been around longer than the Kindle store so I thought they might have a better selection.

I have shopped at both Waterstone's and WH Smith, which seem very similar to Borders and B&N in the US. Is one bookstore more popular than the other? My impression is that WH Smith is the larger chain. I wonder what they think of this news and what their strategic plans are.
