Hello,

I have been seriously considering into getting a dedicated eBook Reader, the concept is definately very appealing to me.

However, I live in Europe (Sweden) and most of the hardware/content seems to be available in USA.

What are the best options for a reader device in Europe? I would say the single most important thing for me would be the availability of content, since most of the devices seem very similar hardware wise.

The Cybook looks definately interesting as does the Kindle, however the latter is only available in USA. Kindle looks like that it's going to have the best content due to popularity of Amazon. There is a lot of books on mobipocket but since it is owned by Amazon too I wonder what will happen with the future of that. Maybe the best option is to just wait more and see if Kindle is released in europe as well?
