Which one are you thinking of getting? I bought the Kindle and love it! It actually inspired me to read "War and Peace." Doesn't seem as long on an e-reader.

Amazon sells both and has the most extensive selection of ebooks.

I don't really understand this question. Ebooks are on the internet, right? Can't you buy them at the same websites in most countries?

Sometimes but not always. A lot of ebook stores are region restricted. So much for globalization! Rolling Eyes
