You can buy them in electronic shops, mobile phone shops and even supermarkets.
Waterstones selling Kindles isn't going to make a huge difference one way or another to Amazon's domination in the UK, and at least they might make a bit of money from it.

I guess the point is here is that if you are going to get screwed anyway , you may as well get paid.
Since Amazon apparently outbid BN, my guess is that Waterstones probably got paid a boatload of money. Hope Mr. Waterstones CEO invests it well. Look for Waterstones to start retailing stuff other than books in the near future
