OK, you're just starting a holiday trip. On the plane the person next to you starts talking about the newly published "abc" novel they are reading. They even let you read it while they are snoozing.
So you head off to the nearest internet cafe, find the book on some online bookstore, as a DRM'ed epub.
What do you do now?

As far as I can tell, at least some Kobo readers have a bookstore on the reader as well (the Kobo Aura HD
specs page certainly indicates that). I believe this is the case also with the Nooks (and used to be for the Sony too, no? at least if you lived in a country with a Sony store?). I am pretty sure there are also store-branded Pocketbooks and perhaps other epub readers.
So if you have any of the more common epub readers and access to a WiFi network (don't most hotels offer access to one these days either for free or for a fee?), it should be reasonably easy to buy a book straight from the device, from the bookshop associated with the reader. Or am I misunderstanding something?
