If you’re pining for the Kindle this Christmas, you’re not alone. In fact, in a recent study 1 in 4 men and 1 in 6 women want an ebook reader for Christmas in 2009. And out of those, 65% want the Amazon Kindle specifically.

If you’re in the US, you’re one of the lucky ones who can snatch up the Kindle, as it is not available anywhere outside the US. Yet!

There are rumors circulating (as of July) that Amazon and book publishers in the UK are working diligently to get the Kindle to the UK just in time for the Christmas holiday.

Will Amazon succeed? Something tells me they will.

Sidenote: If you’re the gift giver this year and someone has The Kindle on their Christmas Wish List, head on over to Amazon and snatch one up NOW, as there might not be any available if you wait till the last minute.
