What E-reader can be best for me? Lives in Israel...
Hi everyone,

I live in Israel and really want to get an E-reader.
In Israel, ebooks in Hebrew are something that is just starting and the E-readers that are sold here (and support Hebrew) are expensive, and, as far as I know, are lame comparing to the Kindle, Nook, Sony etc.

I want an E-reader I can use in Israel (so the Nook for example is not an option). I think a 6 inch screen is great (E-ink of course).
I don't mind that the E-reader will be without Hebrew support, I read in English most of the time.

Now, as far as it seems, the Kindle is the best option. I can use the wifi version and buy books from Israel. Also, it's not expensive and can be shipped to Israel.

My problem with the Kindle is that I can only buy from Amazon and it seems that their ebooks prices are sometimes a bit pricey (at least comparing to Physical books).
Seems a bit funny to me that an ebook addition of a book will cost me more than the physical copy.

Any recommendations?

Many thanks in advance,
Asaf
