The Kindle has an awful cream plastic case which looks incredibly cheap and nasty. By contrast, the Sony reader someone had next to me on the tube the other day, had a fake red leather cover which looked quite swish.

I ask people if it is English language only books on this system, or whether I can buy French and German ones as well, and no-one seems to know. I don't want to have an English only system.

AFAIK kindle and nook don't have their network up in the EU right? So what's the point of getting one?
Plus europeans like privacy more and that's out of the door with those american type setups, so just get a bebook or sony or samsung or what have you and leave that stuff be.

How much is the Nook now?
