Hi Dekadez,

If you want a really simple no-frills e-reader with a decent screen take a look at:

Have never used one, so can't recommend it but when I was doing my own research for an ebook reader, I came pretty close to buying it. After S/H it comes closer to the 97E mark.

Which is why I personally went with the Kindle NT4. I got mine from Ebay, shipped from the UK for about 113E. The reason I went with it was that I found that ebooks for the kindle were generally a euro or two cheaper via amazon. So after a few purchases I would be coming out ahead. It all depends on how much (and what) you read of course. So far, I've been able to buy pretty much everything I've wanted so the geo restrictions mentioned by Chi Cygni haven't been an issue. Something to keep in mind though.

If you know someone in France or Germany, you can get it for 99E shipped. Rumors abound that Amazon.nl will be coming soon, which will probably handle the Benelux market so if you can wait till ?, might wanna do that.

Bebook also offers some good deals on refurbished units, but again can't recommend it as I've never used it.

Check out (if you haven't already)
http://www.bol.com/nl/index.html
too, they have a decent selection of readers and also
http://www.ereaderstore.be
these sites should help you out with your research. As far as Manga goes, can't help you there. Good luck!
