There are many reasons why I wouldn't consider even buying a Kindle if it was released in Europe. But the main two are:

1: It is so ugly (obviously a personal opinion, as beauty is the eye of the beholder)

2: They are soon to be releasing there third gen (?) device the DX and they still ignore the rest of the world. Why should we be bothered with them (if they did release here) if we are only an after thought?
