On the contrary--I would dare to say that ebooks in Sweden have come a long way already. Maybe not so much with respect to sales figures and perhaps prices. But definitively with respect to availability. Since a number of years (I have followed it since 2008), virtually all new releases and more and more books from the backlists are immediately available as DRM-free epubs for purchase, and with some months delay free from the library as well. Really for free at no cost, all books, two per customer per week for a loan time of four weeks, fully paid via taxes.
Thus, Amazon will mostly add price wars, format wars, and DRM to the Swedish ebook market. Pick what you like for yourself, I hope it will not be too easy for them.
