Well with your 3 answers I'm going to go with DRM stripping as 'not aunt-friendly'. I won't mind when I get a reader for myself.

Thanks, I'll tell my aunt to check it them out, see if she likes the selection and if she can buy something.

Because they are canadian, selling in the US and UK market required working the rights out. And will they where on it they set it right for us frenchs too. Some books are missing, but it's someting. I'm still seriously pissed at the decision from the UK shops to stop selling outside UK when the agency switch occurred. What the hell happened to Europe ??
Then, the other solution is saying you live in the US / UK to get the content. It works for BooksOnBoard and the sonystore. (For now...)
For books in french, google epagine, numilog. And the fnac of course.

Don't you need a US-based credit card? she does plan on having a friend in the US buy her the ebook reader once I decide which one she should buy... dunno if her friend is close enough that he/she'll let my aunt buy stuff on her card.
Oh, thanks for more French ebook stores, I only knew about fnac. Does google sell ebooks in France now? I'm in Asia right now and all I see are free books, but I'm sure it depends on region.
Btw, if a store sells an EPUB with DRM, they can't restrict which device can read it right (as long as the device can read EPUB+DRM)? like Fnac store won't sell me an EPUB+DRM that's only compatible with their chosen readers (there's a few of them from different brands)?
