Waterstones, one of the UK's largest booksellers, has signed a deal with Amazon to sell Kindle devices together with "new e-reading services." Details of the partnership are very thin at present, with more announcements said to be coming this fall. James Daunt, Managing Director of Waterstones, said that the store won't simply be reselling the Kindle, but rather offering its own services on top:

"The best digital readers, the Kindle family, will be married to the singular pleasures of browsing a curated bookshop. With the combination of our talents we can offer the exceptional customer proposition to which we both aspire."
