Question Sony PRS-505's ability to read letters not found in the English alphabet?

I need your help

I have no doubt that I need to get an E-reader - although I only heard of it a couple of months ago (yes news travel slow! ).

I have decided that I want the Sony prs-505, but I have a couple of questions I hope you guys can answer.

1) I live in Denmark where the Sony hasn't released the e-reader yet (rumours speculate that it will happen sometime around June 2009).

Therefore I'm considering waiting to buy it until I get to the States in May. But am I then risking that the prs-505 will be off the market by then - and therefore have to spend a lot more money on the prs-700 (I might add that I haven't bought it yet because of the price).

Do any of you know if Sony's agenda is to stop selling the prs-505 soon???

2) Mostly I read books in English, but once in a blue moon I'll read books in Danish as well. In Danish we have 3 more letters than in the English alphabet (æ, ø and å). Do you know if the e-reader can handle these letters?
Can it handle the special letters in Turkish, German etc...?

I'll appreciate any help you can give
