Hi,

I've been looking to get a ebook reader for a while and after thinking long and hard I have it down to these 2 options. Personally I think I'd prefer the PRS-600 but there one big problem.

I'm from the UK, but am in Japan at the moment (for about the next 6 months). I will be visiting HK next month though if thats a help? This may prove a problem when buying books and importing the ebook reader.

I like the openness of the PRS-600 but with many of the ebook stores locking out international users I don't know if I will have many places I can actually buy books. Also I would need to find a good site to buy the device from that would ship internationally and charge acceptable postage (and maybe customs too).

The Kindle is closed (and therefore evil) but its a well build device with access to an international book store and is easily imported. Its also opening up a little (pdf support). And .epub DRM is not infallible...

So erm. Thats my story. Please help shed a little light on the best ways to get my hands on one of these devices and some ebooks to go with it.

Thanks,
Jonny
