So, the PRS-505 is sold since november... And when you ask for e-books, only a minority know what it is (something like less than 10%)...For the moment, the sold are very very thin (less than 10 000 for a country where live more than 65 millions of people), and a large proportion of the purchasers are people who are enjoy with technology, but they're not really read books on it.
It's right that some parts of the e-books 's technology are french, but the habits of e-reading are definitively a recent phenomen for the french readers (and maybe the european).
