Also should be pointed out that Neilsen data doesn’t include independent bookstores. It would be interesting to see whether the slide is any less pronounced in that sphere.

I honestly don’t know bernie, you’d have to call Tesco to check. PCWorld do though: http://www.pcworld.ie/Product/KINDLE-Paperwhite-eReader-Black/313426/2.9
