I got really close to buying an ebook reader that's tied to a big book store chain here in Germany.
A colleague suggested that I check out Hemingway. So I looked for ebooks of his in the ebook store. They didn't have any German ebooks, just print copies. They did have English ebooks but they were at least twice as expensive as the English print copies.
A big international competitor wasn't any better. The ebook versions of Hemingway novels weren't available in my country. I don't know if I can get them through another store, but presumably then I won't be able to get German books anymore (other than Hemingway). Or at least it's going to be a hassle.
tl;dr I'm sticking to print books.
