Kindle should be shipped with the possibility of working in many languages. But since I mainly need to read in English and Spanish my problem with the Kindle is not that one in particular. My major beef with is is that the screen is not white, as I was expecting it,but instead it comes in a sickly green-grayish color which makes it difficult to read due to a simple lack of contrast. ooooooopppsss! Big issue because when you read text you need contrast. I am really dissapointed. If I had known that before I would have never bought the gadget and saved my US $ 303 (kindlle+cover+light).
