If you are looking for an eReader this Christmas, there is one from Europe - Pocketbook/Vivlio

I bought a PocketBook InkPad Color 3 a year ago and wanted to love it but it's a frustrating device. It is so insanely slow.

Influence or deinfluence me on the Kobo Libra Colour

Unless you specifically want color to read a lot of comic books or graphic novels, get a B&W reader.
