I just purchased a Kindle 2 and am a bit disappointed. Because I live in Ireland a lot of books I want are not available for me and I would like to know why and also if they ever will be available for me. I agree here.

There are a lot of people for example in Europe who wants to use Kindle, but the device is like 'out of range' if one takes it outside of Spring networks - difficult to download new books, let alone newspapers and magazines.

I regularly purchase from Amazon and 80 percent of books I've purchased and/or looked at for the past year haven't been available for Kindle (and these aren't graphic novels or scientific text books or anything similar). I often think about buying a Kindle, but I find that I have to search too hard to find the books for the device (and I don't include books in the public domain b/c there's no way I'd buy a Kindle just to read those books). Anyway, this is no different than when the music services first started out -- if you want the NYTimes or Amazon bestseller, sure, a lot of those are available, but if you want variety it's not quite there. 250,000+ sounds like a lot of books but, for me, it isn’t.

I'm curious--how does that compare to all books on Amazon? All books in the top 100K of Amazon salesrank? Very interesting pie chart!
