In that case, the price is most certainly competitive.
JeremyZ, it's not so much the Kindle, but the fact that the Kindle has been released only now, when the European ebook market is picking up as well. And most European publishers don't publish in mobi but epub. Which you can't read on the Kindle. So, in that respect it's not really a competitor. If I buy a Kindle, the only books I can read on it are DRM free books, which I can convert to mobi, or books from Amazon. But not the books I can buy from my local (aka Dutch) book store, as they only sell in epub format.
