I used Amazon for years, though only learned yesterday that my Amazon (US) Sign In works in their international sites, too. While this may seem a no-brainer to some, I was pleasantly surprised I could order from the UK without having to enter my address, credit cards, or even guess the exchange rate (it is listed).
Isn’t this a smart business move that makes it easier for consumers (me) to get products that would otherwise be challenging to get? Should make getting research texts immediately more accessible.

While I have resisted getting a Kindle, due to some of its limitations, I think the new Kindle DX
may just fill the gap. It can show the NY Times like a newspaper, and also has native PDF support.
All it needs is a full-fledge web browser and color, and it will dominate the hardware market. I wonder if that is next?
