Among the massive news update in recent times of the release of the Amazon dx revolutionary wireless reading device with global wireless, it may perhaps have slipped by potential purchasers in England (and in excess of 1000 other countries all across the globe) that the Amazon dx is available to purchase here in England and around the globe.

Splendid news then for everyone wishing to buy e book reader for use in the UK, but how does it stand up to the competition?
