Latin America has some problems, Google Apps are not available to our region, we have to LIE saying we live in the US, give a fake address and phone number and then buy with our visa!

Same happens with Sony but it rejects the fake info because it does not recognize the Time Zone of our devices!

The price (average) of a tablet might reach 1,000 dollars! Which is 3 times the salary of a peasant! Simply impossible to buy! Chinese de devices can be found in the black market for 100 dollars!

So far, non of the local Publishing houses are interested in evolve into digital!

We’d probably buy ebooks in Malaysia and Singpaore if Amazon would sell Kindle to us and let us buy the books.

Part of the difference is that the AAP data is only a small subset of publishers. Not all their members submit data and lots of publishers are not.

Where is PCoopers getting their sales data for NA market? AAP data shows US ebook sales for 2011 at just under $1b, and I find it hard to account for the remaining 2011 projection of $2.696 in Canadian/Mexican ebook sales. Really? They’re selling well over twice what the US digital market generates? Unlikely. These charts also assume a flat trajectory, which will becoming increasing difficult to maintain as number rise and adoption rates reach saturation. Not that I’m being pessimistic, I just think this is a little over-optimistic.
