Who offers the most German books?

Khassib · 01-11-2011, 02:54 PM

Hi,
I'm just now starting to look into the world of ebooks. I love books and don't know if I really want to go the e-route. But of course I said that about digital cameras too when that started...didn't want to give up the 35mm film...
I guess the deciding factor for me would be the availability of German language books. I am from Germany but live in the US. Given that it's becoming increasingly expensive to haul books in a suitcase, ereaders might be a good option - if I can get a good number of German books. Should I just wait a year or two, now that the whole tablet think is really taking off? Maybe there will be big changes. But I guess this is more of a copyright issue than a tech issue. Does anyone here have any insight on this? I do have an iphone, but that's just too small to be a good option.

Thanks,
Kerstin
