Yeah, I'll go with the Astak since it comes with the cover, an AC USB charger and at the current us dolar/euro exchange it'll be cheaper, even with shipping (a full 40$ of shipping) and 16% of taxes it is around 40€ cheaper than the Bebook Mini.
Book availability could have been troublesome, but considering a lot of people are moving to the Adobe ePub format, I think this is not going to be much of a problem.
Hopefully Amazon will be forced to abandon their format and use ePub as well so everyone can enjoy their huge library.
Lets pray, however, that the 40€ saving won't come back to bite me in the ass with customs, a faulty device, or worse.
Thank you all for the support.
