Thank you for the replies. Encouraged by them I bought the Kobo today and loaded some of my free ebooks like Le Comte de Monte Cristo on it, and the one-touch translation works nicely.
The next challenge is to buy modern French novels for it so that I don't end up talking like a 19th century aristocrat. I was told that fnac.com was a good site, and it has a number of books I'd like to buy, but when I tried to register and buy Les Fourmis by Bernard Werber I got an error message:
"Nous rencontrons un problème avec votre compte fnac.com. Pour finaliser votre achat de livre numérique merci de contacter le service client fnac au 0969 32 43 34. Veuillez nous excuser pour la gêne occasionnée"
In the past I've had problems trying to buy ebooks from web sites based in other countries - I'm in Australia. I think they often only sell to people in the same country because of strange copyright rules.
Does anybody know whether FNAC sells online to people outside the twelve or so countries in which they have physical stores?
I've sent an inquiry to FNAC but my French may not be good enough understand the reply if it's complicated, and I thought maybe somebody on here would have experience of the rules and how it works.
This is a different subject from the original (although related) so I'll start a new thread if that is thought a more appropriate way to ask this.
Thank you.
