Nice touch Amazon, and if I were living in the US this would be a great addition for my iPod touch. But for us in the UK it looks like we won't be seeing this added here for the foreseeable future.

Great stuff. Only issue is eBooks are currently massively overpriced - you can generally walk into a shop and pick up the physical book for the same or less money, despite massive publishing, distribution and retail overheads. Until current bestsellers are selling in eBook format for a fraction of their current price (maybe $5/£3.50 or thereabouts), I can't see them taking off in the mass market.

Still, a free reader for your phone is a good start, and there's always those thousands of free out of copyright classics.
