No, Pocketbook is Swiss. I think Polish InkBook is the only EU option. They don't manufacture in Europe though. Maybe German Tolino would qualify as well depending on your definition since their readers are based on Canadian Kobo.
Fair enough, but different people have different needs and preferences. I appreciate being able to read daily papers from all over the world and prefer an e-papers screen over backlit alternatives. There are also books that have gone out of print or are only published electronically. And being able to load thousands of books onto a device weighing a few hg Is a huge plus especially if you travel.
InkBook's OS is based on Android but it's not stock Android so you don't need to link the device to any Google account or such. My library uses Android apps for book lending and newspaper and magazine access digitally so personally my options for library loans is a reader that can sideload Android apps or nothing at all.
Inkbook, ~~Pocketbok~~ (Sorry, Pocketbook is Swiss so not EU), Tolino. Inkbook can sideload most Android apps so it doesn't lock you into any particular ecosystem. I have one myself (Focus Plus) It's fairly basic but ok. Above all it works with the app my local library uses. It's the only European reader I've tried so can't really comment on the others.
Also check out local resources for your particular target language. Many countries have online language learning resources primarily targeted at immigrants but usually open for all. And there are often daily news in easy language available from public service TV with online access.
I also read and watch news from other parts of the world in their native language which helps with keeping up understanding and passive language knowledge in addition to the factual contents - not so much with grammar learning, though. My library offers PressReader (Ireland-based) access for free and they have thousands of newspapers and magazines digitally. There is not a lot of material in all languages, unfortunately. Personally, I particularly miss a daily paper in Finnish, but still. And often the papers available are not the biggest ones and sometimes all those available for a particular country have strong political leanings.

Yes, that's right, tastes good and they have some fair trade products. Apparently they manufacture in Italy.
And fyi Marabou used to be Swedish but is now also owned by Mondalez together with some of the brands in the upper part of the illustration.
This feels very dependent on where in Europe you live. Up here in Sweden for instance we would most likely buy Cloetta or Fazer.
If you want an e-ink reader from Europe, there are InkBook, ~~Toledo~~ Tolino, and Pocketbook. I went with an InkBook myself because it supports the lending app used by my local library as well as Pressreader, which I can also access through my library. Inkbooks are not widely available in my country bu tyou can buy them directly from the company in Poland via inkbook.eu.
Last and First Men. The monologue is spoken so slowly that I think it would pass at 1.25x. Nothing in the visuals would give it away either.
Where do major European electronics component manufacturers like NXP and STMicroelectronics have their factories? Anybody who knows?

Danish Anthon Berg is good and they have some Easter themed chocolates, like chocolate eggs. I also like Fazer from Finland.
