I moved to France for a while. And I plan to get me some tool to access my virtual library. It should read PDFs, TXTs, ePUBs. It would be nice to have DJVUs, CHMs and HTMLs. Sincerely I like what eInk advertises. I have a mobile phone who uses that technology and it is really really impressive. Also, longer battery time is to be desired.

I have no use for Microsoft Office support (doc, xls, etc). Also I need a way to upload the books (by card reader, by usb) Wifi seems to be a waste of space and battery power. Also I am against 3G no matter how free that seems.

I read about Kindle 3 Wifi. The brand Kindle is scarry as it has a history of going around and doing things for you even if it is your own tool. Like deleting books without asking. Yet it has all the above and a small price. I'm talking of course about the no-advertising version. It gets stranger, as amazon.fr dumps me in amazon.com which means paying some taxes, having a more expensive delivery in more days and having to let the bank convert my euros in US dollars.

What options do I have in France?
