lizj · 05-26-2010, 05:10 AM

My understanding is that the Kindle and the Nook (and possibly others) are largely restricted to the American market. Need for US credit card, address, potential difficulty in downloading outside US etc.

What would be a good e-reader for a European resident? I would generally download books from home but would need the facility to do so outside Europe.

What is just as important to me is being able to buy the books and publications I am most interested in - which is generally British crime fiction, British magazines and newspapers. When I last researched e-readers about 18 months ago, the focus was more on US publications.

Any advice would be appreciated.
