I live there. But I'm not talking of Germans' love or (dis-)respect for books. There is a fixed price and a reduced consumer tax for books in order to support the reading of the masses and the writing of bad selling but highly valued authors but in the end it resulted in expensive books which surely doesn't support the reading of the masses.
And right, there is no issue for me regarding what device to select when the last Sony breaks. I only wanted to explain why it will not be a Kindle in a thread about bullying by Amazon (or was it about Amazon being bullied?)
