I live in Japan and currently own a Kindle. On the subway, people always stare at me as I read it and my students (I'm an English teacher) think it's a great concept when I show it to them. Most people don't know what the Kindle is though and are surprised when I say it's an Amazon product. All Amazon needs to do is sign a deal with a few Japanese advertising agencies and the Kindle will be extremely popular here!
As you pointed out, we need now Japanese language Kindle as soon as possible.
