It's sad that UK and US publishers don't use guillemets for speech. Lots of Croatian books use them and frankly, my personal opinion is that they're the best option.
But since most of the books I read are in English, I find myself missing guillemets every single time.
Sure, I could go through every epub I read (and de-DRM) and replace all the quotes, but that's a chore and I'm too lazy to do it.
