It is interesting that the iPad is being used AS a reader which goes against the persistent meme on this board that "serious readers use eInk". Lee |

Some of us use both, of course. When I'm "out and about" I always have my Kindle with me, but I often read on my iPad at home.

I've only ever seen Sony's e-readers when out and about, but I definitely think that will change now that the Kindles are appearing in more UK retailers. Getting into the supermarkets is a large step in bringing e-readers to the masses, especially coupled with the Kindles' ease of content delivery.

Do you have a link? A few months ago, Amazon recently stated that 20% of its sales were to non-Kindle owners (which are probably mostly iPad owners).

One thing that doesn't help in Europe is Amazon.co.uk and their stupid attitude to Europe. They will only sell you a Kindle if you live in the UK most of the other items they offer for sale they will ship anywhere in Europe, that means no extra tax or import and usually free shipping. They won't, however, ship a Kindle to Spain. Amazon.com will though BUT you then have to pay tax import duty and shipping to Europe making it more expensive. Just crazy marketing strategy IMHO.

Another option you do have to wonder about is why they didn't simply limit sales from the uk site to the wifi-only model for those in europe as then they would at least have the option of avoiding customs charges if they didn't need the 3g model. |
