I wanna get something like an iPad (mainly to read Word docs and browse, I don't give a shit if you can play Angry Birds in it), but I'd rather not deal with all the bullshit that comes with buying an Apple product. I'd wait for the Kindle Fire but Kindles have limited usability outside the US. There's probably a way to hack them, but that sounds like a pain in the ass (and I shouldn't have to do that anyway, so fuck those guys).

Any recommendations?
