Aren't you being contradictory? People in the UK who buy ereaders rarely buy from Waterstones, that's the bottom line here. They buy from Amazon or probably John Lewis as they offer a free two year warranty. Anyone who walks into a bookshop is not looking for a ereader instead.

Also the partnership between Waterstones and Amazon was a divorce waiting to happen, it was a ridiculous partnership in the first place. Waterstones should have partnered with an epub ereader like Nook but then the Nook brand has even less of an idea of what they are doing than Waterstones.
