ronnnn : in the french forum we were discussing the price of french ebooks as well, some have said that an ebook is not legally considered a book (don't ask me why, it makes no sense to me) so the loi lang will not be applicable.
*however*, others have speculated that many of the french publishers don't like ebooks, so they don't want them to gain popularity, so they will continue to price them very high (hardly discounted at all from a paper version), in order to discourage people from buying them in hopes they will just go away.
i guess it's up to us to show them we want them and we want reasonable prices.
olsonjm25 : i think you could probably buy ebooks from fnac.com from anywhere in the world, using a credit card. i don't see why it should be a problem. if you are looking for french litterature, there is already some available (sadly, not very much... hopefully a lot more soon) i recommend you take a look in the french forum where there are a few threads which talk about where to find ebooks. apart from the obvious free sources like manybooks and feedbooks and mobileread and gallica there are some shops which sell french ebooks (numilog for instance) and a lot of ressources that our members have discovered and shared.
