Hi everybody,

I´m writing from Spain so I hope you excuse any mistakes I might make on writing.
I´m thinking about buying an e-book but I´m a little bit lost with all the models and different functions, so I hope maybe you can help me, guys.

What I´m looking for it´s an e-book that allows me to read my own .doc and .rtf documents mainly. You see, I´m a writer and I keep sharing my work with other writers as well as reading theirs, but it´s really tiring to do so in front of my computer so that´s why I was thinking of switching to an e-book instead. I will buy an e-book from time to time (even though I prefer the paper ones) but as I said I will be using the e-book reader to read my own documents mainly, and I really don´t know which e-readers allow that and which one would be the best.

Ideally it would be a not too expensive one, it should allow spanish language and it´d be great if it was one of the models released in the U.K, as there are none available here in Spain and I don´t feel comfortable buying from the U.S due to warranties, customs and such.

I really hope you can help me. Many thanks beforehand.
