He's fairly right, though; I wouldn't recommend an ebook reader to most people (and wouldn't call it "liseuse" to the layperson). Having to convert just about everything so that I can see it on my sony, not to mention stripping things of DRM? For a lot of people having their icons disappear off the desktop is a major catastrophe!

Also, being in Australia with the geographical restrictions ... no. I don't mind tinkering, but most people want to be able to do what the Yanks can with the kindle -- go to a bookstore, select it, buy, and Bob's your uncle, you can read it!
