Which in turn is only 5% of the worlds population so Kindle would be owned by 2‰ of the world population. In most countries you can have more alcohol in your blood and still be allowed to drive a car. So count me not impressed.
Apart from number shovelling - Amazons planned deals with Vodaphone and/or T-Online failed so it will stay that way.
And at least Vodaphone has it's own ebook plans.
And last not least: Of what does the eBook reader icon in this German
advert for an eBook store remind you of? Yep - when Amazon against all odds does make it to Europe they won't have the same brand recognition as they have in the states.

And the rest of the world - with potentially 20 times the customer base - is Sony's turf. Even the EU alone has twice the potential customer base.
