I just got an email from Amazon.
subject : Get Amazon Kindle at a New Reduced Price
"As someone who has shown an interest in
Kindle, you might be excited to know we
recently reduced the price to $359."

Now, I have to wonder. Amazon knows my shipping and billing addresses (which are the same, and are both in France). The email address i receive their mails on ends in .fr. When i've ordered from them, i've used a french credit card from a french bank to pay. given how much information they track about their customers, you'd think they would realise that a kindle is not really an option for me. So what is this ? Willful provocation ?? trying to make me jealous ?? or... are they planning to launch the Kindle in France, and they're trying to generate some reeeeally early buzz ?
