It'd be interesting to ask the ebook sellers who don't restrict sales on geolocation (Baen...um...anyone else?) about this. |
A good question, though your quote takes it out of context - I was talking about prospective buyers of
English-language books (primarily fiction). Baen is a bit specialised, since they sell mostly fantasy and sci-fi, though I can imagine that a lot of us gadget lovers and ebook device first-mover types are the ones who buy books in English and read more sci-fi and fantasy than the general population.
I read in the paper today, about an editor at a Danish publishing house, who had a Sony 505 but only used it for manuscripts. She'd never bought an ebook for download, but stuck with p-books. I assume she prefer Danish for leisure reading.
