so, you might quibble about whether they are first (Amazon has UK, German and US Kindle stores), but the scope is a first.

The Sony Readers do have multiple language interfaces and Sony's bookstore operates in several countries. Additionally, the Sonys have multiple language dictionaries. So where exactly is the first?
Engadget is getting worse all the time. Apparently they are comparing the Kobo to the PRS-600.
Anyway, the Kobo is very attractive, particularly so at that price. I wonder how that white reader and its quilted back will look after some practical use, though. I don't quite see why they all do their commercials in the Apple style.
