    You don't get a mains charger with it - it's an optional extra and (if you believe the specs) only works at US voltage. It shouldn't cost more than a few quid to get a mains charger off Ebay if you want one, as it uses a USB port to charge from.

    I suspect that the main problem you'll have is accessing the Ebook Store to download the 100 free books that are bundled with it, as they are supposedly available to US/Canadian residents only.

    I also can't escape the impression that you will be paying top money buying now, and that they will be a third of the price in 2 years time - but if you have to have one now...
