They're doing more than that. The Glo was for sale day 1 in the UK, and in France, as well. By doing so they've accomplished three things:
- they've supported their largest market (Canada),
- they've shored up recent success in France (where they've enjoyed 50% marketshare recently)
- they've managed to beat both Nook and Amazon to the punch in the UK (the only country on Earth where all three major front-lit e-readers are all slated to be released)
Not bad for the underdog, I dare say.
