I dunno...  I paid 40,000 yen for my Sony Librie, and the only way to
get any non-Japanese books on there was to pirate books from the eBook
irc channel and format them for Librie by hand.  And even so I thought
it was a great deal, since it was *so easy* to read.  I went on a
couple international trips in a row there, and all I had to do was
load about 15 novels on the ebook, no need to carry several books with
me on the plane, etc.  It was worth every yen, and I was quite sad
when I broke it...
