Prejudice of any sort just doesn't happen when it comes to getting money. Don't you think Amazon is biting at the lease to get a foot into the door of all of those RICH RICH RICH middle easterners? Was Dubai on the sell or no-sell list? (I skipped a lot because reading is painful to my eyes. Mostly read first lines of paragraphs.)
If they do not go there, it is because they can not yet go there. They are up against the possibility of some home-grown electronics company bringing its own reader to the local markets. Again, I'm sure Amazon is sweating this one out also, hoping to get in there and corner the market.
And I wonder what sort of hoops to jump and costs to lay out are involved in getting copyright permissions and licenses to sell, etc, in those countries not included? Could it be that the possibility of profit is less than the probability of destabilization of gvts, infrastructures, and economies, threatening a loss for Amazon in the near future?
And finally, well, we all know Amazon. They could announce before the close of business today that they will be expanding into more countries. They are set on world domination via Kindle, but it might take more than a year or two to accomplish this goal. Give 'em another year and see how widespread the Kindle6 (Global Edition, in both pocket and briefcase size) will become.
Hugs to all!
