All I can say is that if it were easier and potentially more lucrative to market things like the Sony Reader in Europe than the US, Sony would have done it. Sony doesn't care in the slightest where it makes money. True, Europe has GSM, but Apple still opted to start the iPhone in the US -- and I don't think the reason was that they are a US company. In any event, I'm not happy with any of the ereaders on the market -- at least none I've seen. The Sony has too small a screen (true of the BeBook also), and the Iliad doesn't hold a charge, so you have to restart it whenever you want to read a book. And the current eInk background is too gray. I hope someone comes up with a reader that has higher contrast, a larger screen, is light, and doesn't cost $800.
