Despite living here my language skills are not much better than yours I have to confess (Danes speak such terrific English I'm not really incentivised to get better - which is a really crap excuse but can't do any better at the moment). Ebook reader take-up in Denmark seems rather slow - though the public library system does have ebooks for loan. Hopefully the TV piece will give it a bit of a boost, though I suspect the development of commercial Danish language ebooks will not be rapid, simply because there are only about 5 and a half million Danish speakers in the world - and many of those choose to read in English anyway.
Anyway, posting the link allowed me to accrue some good karma (real karma, not MR karma (though I did get some of that too
), after I started a discussion on General Discussions about Kindles, which seems to have provoked one of those slanging matches.
