Not even then! I want to be buried with it, can you imagine there being an afterlife and then finding out you didn't have your reader with you

That's something I've noticed in other countries as well. Here, the average bookstore has a nice selection of English, German and French books (not sure about the size of the French and German parts, because I don't read those languages, but the English part is usually decent, with at least all recent bestsellers and most often a decent selection of older books).
