I could not buy ebooks to use in Australia, nor from Baghdad where I am currently working, English language books are less readily available here obviously. However I perservered and bought the Bookeen ebook reader and have had absolutely no troble buying and downloading all sorts of books from fiction, biography history etc, at between USD 9 to USD 20. I suggest you look outside the American continent for what you want. You may be surprised. Incidentally the Booken was delivered from France to Australia, then forwarded from there to Baghdad in less than three weeks and still only cost less than 350. Ease of use and free sofware, what more could you want Cheers I think that you are overlooking the ease of use of ebook readers, I bought the Sony PRS 500 without understanding the implications of the restrictive DRM system.
