The Bookeen Cybook would work for you. It connects via USB using the standard USB Mass Storage device protocols, so if USB memory sticks formatted as FAT32 work on your laptop, the CyBook will work on your laptop.

This would give you access to all the Mobipocket ebooks out there, even the DRMed ones, since the CyBook can read those too.

Second strange aspect - My laptop is a Linux (An Asus eeePC to be exact), and so it won't work with a lot of the eReaders out there.

I wanted a Kindle originally, but it's not worth the price if I can't have connectivity (Korea has a closed cell phone system so I believe it won't work).

As for Sony's theirs doesn't say anything about a Linux interface.
Neither does the SoriBook.
The eSlick may interface with Linux, but I'm not sure what kind, and it's not available in Korea.

HELP!
I'm sure there are or were others out there in similar predicaments...

Please help,
Casi
