Looking at amazon.com's store, many books are not available in Europe .e.g. "The Angel's Game" or even Dan Brown's latest. Comparing the top sellers list (assuming you buy a Kindle hoping to get new books for $10 kindle prize rather than $25 local imported paperback price), only 23 out of top 59 books are available in UK (this I found by sorting by bestseller in the store with region set to Europe and US accordingly -- the order matches up, except for the gaps). I'm going to wait until the International Kindle is up on Amazon.co.uk -- buying anything from outside of EU for me personally is probably more expensive than waiting for it to arrive in UK, even though the price will likely be higher. You've got VAT, you've got customs and you get a $25 customs fee and VAT on top of customs fee. And of course, you're paying VAT and customs on the shipping charge as well. I'm still happy it's finally here although I wonder about bookstores. Do you Kindle owners still go in, browser a bookstore and buy books at random? Even though I buy plenty of stuff from Amazon it's mostly professional books or hard-to-find paperbacks. I still go into bookstores several times a month and just browse at random at highlights or new editions.
