I'm wondering if Amazon will catch the holiday spending spree by launching Kindle outside the US. They're cutting it fine and the less insular competition seems to have a firm toe hold. If I could afford to buy readers for friends and relatives in the 'rest of the world' this year, I certainly wouldn't even consider Kindle. Like many other ebookworms who don't live in the United States, I feel rudely snubbed. Merry Christmas, Sony, CyBook, Cool-ER et al. Neil
