Waterstones to stop selling Kindle in most stores

Retailer opens up new chapter in battle between ebooks and physical books as e-reader was 'getting virtually no sales'

Waterstones is to stop selling the Kindle e-reader in most of its stores in what industry bosses have said could become a watershed moment in the battle between physical and digital books.

James Daunt, the managing director of Waterstones, told the Guardian he has removed Kindles from most of the books chain's 280 stores because they were "getting virtually no sales".
