1.& 2. It seems that Amazon is going to charge a premium for books purchased and downloaded outside the USA. But call amazon and check for the specifics. I dont know if it will be waved if you download them on your computer. I doubt it as it seems to be a location based charge, but who knows.
3. You are restricted to the ebook formats that the kindle handles. Mobi .azw and PDF's (check the kindle spec page for all) but you can put any book that does not have DRM restrictions it on the kindle by using the USB connection. You can also convert other formats using a program called calibre, search for it or even for more info on these forums.
4. If you read at night in dark room you will need a light behind you or focused on the kindle. It is just like reading a paper book.
5. Cases are a matter of taste and level of protection. I like a somewhat padded case to decrease damage if it falls. But again it is a matter of taste and need. One thing to consider is that the "standard leather case" for the K2i and the DXi that use the metal hinge clips can be a problem if you open the case up back to front as the hinge is fixed and has broken many a kindles plastic spine. My wife has one for her K2i and likes it but she has to be careful when opening it. I on the other had am to much of a spaz to be that careful and opted for a similar case that holds my Kindle Dxi in by leather corner straps. Search the amazon web site for one you might like and there are a few companies that sell them outside of amazon. Do a web search. There is lots of info available.
6. Battery life does seem to be as they described it. A week or so if you turn off the wireless.
Hope this help and enjoy your Kindle if you choose to buy one.
