When being in France and being French I can use my SIMcard in my reader, but the moment I cross the border... hm, difficult.
Right now the following readers in Germany have wifi/3G:
Oyo which is tied to a shop called Thalia.
Acer Lumiread which is tied to a shop called Libri.
And Pocketbook which is tied to no shop but the 3G doesn't work in exchange.
Do you now see why I doubt the significance of wifi over here?

I can sorta see what you're saying. Personally, I've had no issues using wifi outside the USA in the Caribbean, Latin/Central America, and Canada.
Right now I'm on my iPad away from my home and using another wifi connection reading and replying to this forum. As long as the wifi connection is open or if I know the security login, I can connect anywhere I go. I would like to think it works that way in your part of the world too.
