The US and UK Kindles are the same, but Amazon will only sell to you from their UK store if you have a UK address so, living in France, you will need to buy from amazon.com, not amazon.co.uk.
The Kindle does not have an e-mail application, but if your ISP provides a "webmail" system you may be able to use it via the Kindle's web browser. You are not, however, going to want to use the Kindle's keyboard to write long e-mails!
The Kindle is a book reader. If you want to buy one to read books, that's great, but don't buy one with the expectation of doing lots of web browsing on it; stick with your computer for that.
The Kindle is VERY easy to use; whoever told you that it was "not very clear" has misled you.
