UK Kindle owners to be charged 40% more for content

Comments

• Whenever I see that something is on sale at an inflated price I simply don't buy it. Take for example Norton software. I found that they were charging the same in pounds as dollars. So I didn't renew. If people in the UK are happy to continue to be ripped off, well, OK, be stupid and pay the inflated price. I think the price for electronic book hardware is too much anyway. The same goes for music downloads.
  This long established attitude that it is OK to rip off the UK needs to be buried for good and I hope that, in these hard times, there will be a whole heap of dirt to start off that process. Posted by Brian, UK
• Wait! There are much better readers arriving soon. Don't be ripped off by the USA (again). This is the country that prattles on about "intellectual property rights" and then claims the English language as it's own: don't believe me ? Next time you register software you will see "English (American)" with no alternative English (British). Just rewriting history again,soon they will have discovered penicillin!

  For example Audrey Niffenegger's new book Her Fearful Symmetry...

• I think that ebooks will be famous for new generation only. Because the real book readers are addictive to page changings. If the come up with new ebook where you can change pages like real book then that can be famous. The best upcoming ebook i think is this one http://www.domesticutilities.com/book.htm
  In this century ebooks will bring many new poets and articles writers and the famous poets and writers names will disappear Posted by kashiq, Kingdom UK
