When I started to research buying an Ereader here in France I could find no knowledgable staff in any shop. Indeed I could find few shops which sold a reader! However, on entering one shop I found a reader mounted in an elaborate display but unfortunately the staff knew nothing about it and were quite unprepared to allow me to handle the Ereader on display. What I absolutely wanted to do at that stage in my research was determine the "feel" of a reader.

So, when I did buy my PRS 650 I did so on line. Now I am the local source of enquiry about Ereaders and am frequently asked by sales assistants to help out!

In general I do try to help other customers particularly English speakers with little or no French. In my local DIY store I sometimes have to hide from the French staff who wish a difficult Englishman on to me!
