OK, so now I'm getting my hopes up again...damn....
Tribble is right, there are very few titles available in German, but that would not matter to me, since I only read English books anyway...but it would matter to the majority of amazon.de customers.
However, if Amazon manages to release a moderately large Kindle library (of german books) then they might just be able to pull it off.
What I'm worried about however is this:
At the moment I buy Mobipocket Books from booksonboard.com and get good prices since I pay the $ price in € and save about 50-60% that way...the weak dollar really helps here, but if Amazon goes local here then they'll surely want to sell ebooks at $=€ prices over amazon.de and will probably not allow purchases from a german Kindle on amazon.com
Booksonboard and other sites would however still be an option, so there really isn't much to lose...
I'm getting carried away, it might be the same as last year where we all thought Amazon is going to launch the Kindle at the Frankfurt Book Fair and then they just quietly unveiled it a few weeks later...after we had all decided there was no kindle at all...^^
