It worries me because they are the only official eBook store in the UK that supports my reader. If eBooks are really going to become more popular in the UK they need to become more mainstream and accessible and this will not happen in the UK if the only place to get eBooks is from a foreign site in a different currency.

These are just my thoughts - it's taken long enough for eBooks to be properly distibuted in the UK by the UK arm of a company. And now, finally, people I know that aren't "gadget geeks" (like I am) are considering them as a future purchase.

Cheers,
