    This is great news for the rest of the world. I have had my Kindle for the past three years and I truly can’t live without it. I love to read and it’s just such a comfortable way to enjoy a book. It’s great that this will work in other countries as well. Here’s hoping that Amazon finds a way to capture this market similar to the way the Apple was able to do it with iTunes.
