Hi Guys,

I'm an Aussie in Singapore, and faced excatly the same problem IE Where to get an Ebook device?

I worked with a friend in the US to get a kindle for a friend, with all the hassle that goes with a non US account.

I got an Astak EZ reader (ECO in Aust) from an MR member in the fleamarket forum on this very site! I like the formats EZ reader can support, and rarely use DRM'ed anything, so that's not an issue for me.

Ebay and DA direct seem to be among the better places to find ebook readers, though there are other classified sites and small sellers out there that can assist.

If you are looking at Kindle or Sony, be very aware that their sites do not support non US accounts. May or may not be an issue for you.....
