I must admit, I doubt that there are enough international customers to actually have much, if any, impact, or to make this issue a priority for anyone but us.

*shrug*. It impacts 100% of prospective European buyers, as there are no real competitively priced (i.e. actively competing) european ebook stores yet, nor are they often very interesting, if they're interested in something other than 'local' publications. (For instance, I personally do not care for Dutch translations of, say, Dostoevsky; which is why I'm very happy to be able to order English-translated HCs from Amazon for less than a Dutch-translation pb will set you back).
