Germany already has a Kindle Killer (Score 1)

It's called "tolino shine". Same high-end display as the Kindle, somewhat nicer industrial design. Sold by all major booksellers (Thalia, Hugendubel, Weltbild, Bertelsmann), developed by Deutsche Telekom. Reached 40 percent market share within one year, and is expected to become the market leader this year. The "tolino" became a Kindle killer not because of feature creep, but because it supports a user-friendly business model. Users are not locked into a single vendor. Ebooks (epub and pdf formats) can be purchased at any vendor except Amazon, and are stored in a free 25GB cloud space. You can even upload your own epub content. WLAN access to Telekom WiFi hotspot is included for free.
