Hi everyone,

I'm in the UK (which I believe narrows my choices for a start). I'm learning French, German and Russian and read a lot of books in these languages. There are lots of free e-books out there in all 4 languages. What I'm not clear about is, if I buy an e-book device from Borders or Waterstones, will it only be able to display books in English with a UK-type ISO encoding? Just how multinational are these beasties?
