Well, that majority of people (est 82%) in the US speak English... but it is by no means the only language spoken. I think 10% or more speak Spanish and 2% or so speak an Asian language.

But, yes having non-English language ebooks in the Kindle store would certainly be low volume of sales, but then again, isn't "the long tail" the whole point of Amazon in the first place?
