I'm quite happy they've moved into the e-book market but, as a Sony Reader user, not so happy about the Mobipocket thing. An independent e-book seller is also heavy on the Mobipocket side. Either way there's some stuff happening but the most well known, and I reckon most sold, device is the iLiad. We need more choice here.
Oh true enough, they've got 50.000 or more books.
The problem is that they are mainly English language, not Dutch.
That was the point I was trying to make earlier on, if they don't come
with Dutch books I think the launch hasn't got much of a chance.
