    I clicked on the story today because there was something I wanted to reread in it and the link just went to LISNEWS. I had forgotten to put the link into the story yesterday. Sorry about the mistake. The link should be working now.

    Mmmm

    Yes they do have to deal
    Yes they do have to deal with international publishing rights, but that doesn’t mean they can just publicise things without taking it into account. Even selling the Kindles internationally involves buying them from the US, paying import duties and getting a lower quality version than that sold in the US.

    For me it’s a matter of accuracy in advertising.
