Or are we to believe that customers outside the US are more tolerant of bad Customer Service, mediocre websites, and locked-down hardware with barren apps stores? They need to fix their business at home first before exporting it.
I don't know, Sony has hung in with a similar model and a higher price point for a while there. Sony was, heck still might be, the prefered ereader outside the US. Sony has never had a good supply of books, the customer service has always been suspect, and the hardware is limited.

Sony was screwed in the US when the Kindle entered the scene but seems to be doing ok outside the US.
