On the e-reader: is there any sort of firmware hacks for it? There's all sorts of cool ideas, mainly because they're the only things you can buy with e-ink screens.
The Kobo reader can be hacked to boot a specific version of Android, but the screen quality is poor except for a book, on the other hand, when wifi is turned down the main battery is good for two months.
Man, the word "gigaoctet" is just /weird/. When I was using a French translation of Windows, it weirded me out, along with the arbitrarily resized dialog boxes that make no sense for their content
Yes, in France Octet is used instead of Byte, just a language weirdness.
