I thought I read somewhere yesterday that Amazon was going to a higher priced book because of the publishers demands.

Article said something about when they were selling at $9.99 they were selling at a loss because they were giving more than that to the publisher. Hard to say where this will end up but it will be an exciting next 6 months in the ebook industry, competition has got to be good for us.

It says that Russian is offered for the iPad on the specs page. If a language is supported by the device it is highly probable that material read on it would be supported too.

Some people here could answer you.
In my opinion it would work only on non DRMed books. But you still have to have a Kindle account at Amazon.
