The english level mentioned by Katsunamy is utter BS. Most of my books are dutch and I can and do read english. So can most of the readers of Ezzulia (forum). Why would reading behaviour differ just because it's electronic. If we buy dutch books (hardcopy), then we buy and read dutch ebooks. I must say that choice is very good in the Netherlands and I buy mine with "watermerk", never with adobe DRM. I also read english and german ebooks, but not the majority.

Also, the article by Katsunami makes me wonder how many people were asked to participate ? Sometimes articles like that are no less than just paid for "public message" sponsored by ... again utter BS since downloading files generally is LEGAL for personal use in the Netherlands, whereas uploading is ILLEGAL.
