Swiss iBookstore starts selling books

Our readers in Switzerland will be happy to hear that Apple has finally begun selling books in the Swiss iBookstore. Up until today, Apple has only had free Project Gutenberg books available for download. MacPrime.ch notes that currently there are a few hundred paid books on the Swiss iBookstore, including 71 works by Stephen King, some Dan Brown titles, and the Steve Jobs biography by Walter Isaacson (pre-order only). Books cost between 4 and 24 Swiss Francs, with most titles costing 7, 15, or 24 Francs.
[Thanks, Steve]

I have a Romanian account and I can see and buy French, German and Spanish paid books. No english paid except the free project Gutenberg books.

The store in iTunes itself now features two additional sections: Music and Audiobooks, though not everything is fully functional.
So, I guess the rumors were true that iTunes Store is coming to the rest of the EU.
Let's hope Sweden is next up. After all, we're pretty much the same country.
