IMHO, the Nook should not even be mentioned to people outside the US. You're arguing semantics that only make sense to people who understand the details.
I'd invite you to go back to the OP, read what assistance he requested, read the whole thread, including your posts, and see if you think that you interlude with jocampo helped or hindered the OP in deciding what reader is best for him. I wouldn't be surprised if he's so confused now that he's dropped the idea completely.

*sigh* *double sigh* if you go back and read my original response to the OP, I recommended a Sony. NOT a nook.
You are jumping into a fight after everyone went home.
Someone who shall remain nameless started spewing off "facts" about the nook that just weren't true, and I was just refuting his claims. That's all.
If I lived in a foreign country a Sony would be my ereader of choice. The book selection for the Kindle isn't the same vast selection we see here in the United States. The Sony accepts ePub which would be more useful in using foreign ebookstores.
I just want to make that clear. I was just correcting him on making a claim that a nook is not operational outside the US and his other false claim that it did not support PDF's. Ok?
So to the OP, out all the eink ereaders out there that will support most of your files and have the best tech support and if you need to claim a warranty. Get a Sony. and also download Calibre if you haven't already to convert any mobi books to ePub.
