I agree; why would Amazon form partnerships with foreign dailies if they didn't plan to sell it abroad. Though obvious something has to be changed since EVDO isn't going to work everywhere (e.g. in Germany).

Theoretically, it should arrive tomorrow. But there is a chance that the order might be canceled; they might cancel all sales that occur before the announcement.

I'll update y'all as I get more info from Amazon.

Newspapers, eh?

I wonder how difficult it would be for Amazon to tweak their newspaper subscriptions and delivery so that an Iliad owner could partake.... of course, whether or not that's something they'd want to do is a different question.

I just ordered one, too! No, wait. It's just that lamp thing again. Sorry.

Seriously, you guys are great! Excellent job, Alexander. And congratulations to you, Nate.

In another thread, TallMomof2 posted the e-mail he she received from Amazon upon ordering the Kindle. It reveals that the two foreign newspapers will be Le Monde (FR), and Frankfurter Allgemeine (DE).
