Thanks Eowyn.
Let us say that drm doesn't scare me. The large majority of my ebooks are drmfree. Fictionwise was wonderful while it lasted. Calibre is a wonderful helper and let's leave it at that.
Reading in Italian is not a worry. In Italy the ebook market has basically just started for Italian ebooks, and it looks like the publisher are following something like the Agency model. Result is that ebooks are really highly priced. Since I can, I prefer to buy in English. Lots of choices, lower prices and I get a choice of where to buy. Lately Kobo is very nice, every week a discount. All in all also Amazon is not so bad. Reading on the iPad is not bad, especially the Kindle app.
A Kindle could be nice, just cheap enough, wifi, the possibility of synchronising ebooks on the devices. I liked folders very much, though, they were very nice.
Sony is sold in Italy, Pocketbook probably has to be ordered via web. iPad is good (very much so) but eink is better for basic reading. iPad has got me hooked, though, to turing on a device and having it available instantaneously. That is a firm requirement.
I'll investigate. Need to study it further before committing to a new one.
Thanks again everybody.

And you mobi files once free of drm, can be read "as is". But, if you want to read in italian, you will have to de-drm the epubs and convert to mobi.
Mmm, not sure about folders on the kindle.
Then the other choices are sony prs-650, cybook orizon, and pockebook (I can't remember the number there).
Wherever your choice, you're up to some mess with de-drming to keep your books.
