From what I can figure out by glancing at the Italian cover description, it sounds awesome.

That is what drew me in as well, besides it being a novel by Eco

Eco in Italian IS very difficult if you're not fluent.

I'm equally surprised you won't be reading it in the original

Let me rephrase: I'm going to wait for a hardcover version in Italian or English.

I don't understand it. Are they cheap, poor or do they just not love books?

It sounds like the French, Spanish and Italians don't read but the Germans do.

Yes, I don't think percentages are relevant. Gross statistics would matter much more.
