The lobby for book publishers is stating that this also true for eBooks. If necessary they want to prove it in court. Needless to say none of their customers shares their point of view.

I got my Sony PRS-505 and I'm lucky enough to understand (and like) English books so it doesn't bother me as much as it does people who only read in German.
Luckily, we do have quite a lot of free german ePubs right here at MobileRad, too. You can find this same post in the german speaking part of this forum. And welcome to MobileRead!
