If you find one, let me know

And my fifth and seventh. And sometimes I cheat on them with my iPod Touch. The rest I've sold off

They are as expensive as books generally, but I trust that the libraries will follow up as soon as more publishers go digital. There is already a service; ebib.dk
As for the OP: there will be no problems about using a Kindle in Denmark, but getting content might be if you are interested in contemporary Danish fiction.
I remember reading 1 or 2 years ago that The Royal Library loaned out Sony PRS 505 readers. Don't know if was only for a trial period - or if they have upgraded by now - but if you haven't already, I'd go and ask them. I would also ask them if they have DRM on their material and in what file formats they have it in. If a lot of it is PDF, then perhaps a 5 or 6 inch screen will not cover you needs in this respect anyway.
