Meanwhile the Kindle line has one more member in Japan than in the U.S. (Also interesting, to me, is that there is no 3G option for the Manga.)
Hmmm.... given the average size of a manga in ebook format, 3G might get expensive for Amazon. One number I ran across is that the 32GB Paperwhite would hold 700 mangas which gives an average 44MB each (assuming 2GB for OS and other fripperies).
