Hey who'd have thunk it? It sounds like Darty's marketing of e-readers here in France is a step up from the displays in the US!
Darty (our big appliance and electronic gadget chain) has just recently started selling e-readers, so I went in to see what they had. The display wasn't terribly informative, but they did have working samples of the Sony machines (both 650 and 600, 350 and 300) as well as Bookeen and one other brand, I think available to be played with. Not sure how long the display models will last, but I was quick impressed by the new Sonys. (Just bought my 600 last spring, though, and am not in the market for a new one...)
I did notice, however, that none of the sales staff swooped in to offer to "help" me like they do in some of the other departments. I suspect they don't have too many sales staff who are familiar with the merchandise yet. So I went over to the large appliances section and pestered some lady about the dryer I was interested in. (End of the model, unfortunately, and being replaced by a MUCH more expensive model.... oh well, back to the drawing board.)
