David, Christoph Please understand that it's not a faith / trust issue what-so-ever. Let me explain a bit more... With our current resources we could only make an initial version that worked well with English. So naturally we chose to focus on the US market for the launch. In this market, it's just about impossible to sell (well) without being on Amazon. Amazon *is* e-commerse to the average American. (They currently have over 150M accounts. Ignoring this is the epitome of shooting yourself in the foot.) Europe is super important to us. As is the rest of the world. But we want to make sure WikiReader is 100% usable, right out of the box. Which means we need to support more languages (both from the technical side and from the customer service side). This is all high on our priority list. But it's going to take us some time to get there. We'll definitely let you know when we're close.
