A good point. It might also explain Amazon's lack of Kindle-spread to the world market if their strategy is to use the Kindle specifically to grow the market for e-books, concentrating on the large market U.S., and once they reach critical mass, roll out SW apps that anyone's existing computers or other devices can use to read Amazon e-books (thereby rendering the need for Kindles, worldwide or otherwise, superfluous).
