Of course you should take it on an overseas trip. The whole point of the Reader is to give you a portable library.
My Reader has now gone on holiday with me to Pattaya three times. It enjoys the long air trips. It enjoys folks staring. It enjoys the sun and the sand (in a ziplok bag). It didn't really enjoy being dropped on a tile floor and having its little plastic cover clip broken. But it cheered up when I repaired it with double sided tape. And it sulked badly whenever I left it in the hotel room so I could go on a night time trawl of the go-go bars.
Right now it is looking forward to going back to Pattaya at Christmas.
Before I had my Sony I would travel with a heavy stack of throw-away books to read. Then, once I'd read them, I'd have to scour the inadequate bookshops of Pattaya for more throw-away books. Now when I travel, my load is light and I always have plenty of good reading material with me.
