Hello Stensie4JC -- and welcome to MobileRead. We're glad you've joined us here.

I have both a Kindle and a Sony reader and use them a lot when I'm traveling -- even when I'm traveling internationally. While I do anticipate some complexity if I decided to purchase new books for the Sony while outside the USA, there should be absolutely no problem with getting books from the Kindle. With either device, I can purchase DRM-free books from Fictionwise and Baen/Webscriptions or I can download tons and tons of DRM-free classics and Creative Commons-licensed books from MobileRead, Feedbooks, Manybooks, Munsey's and other sites.

I almost bought an EZ Reader this past weekend, but the promised deep discount didn't materialize. I'm now thinking kindly about the new 5" Pocket Pro from Astak, the 5" Cybook Opus from Bookeen, or the Jetbook. I know ... I don't really need another reader, but I'm such a glutton for them.

So -- welcome indeed to the family of avid readers who travel lightly laden.
