Kindle already supports that, or at least my 5 years old vanilla Kindle can.

(I'm italian) Some international pasta brands (e.g. Barilla) have different cooking times depending on the country/market. I moved from Italy to Germany and noticed the +1 minute i…

Behind this there is the wrong assumption that there must be a replacement for all. For sure there will be gaps filled by other powers, but it's not necessary, we just got used to …
