I'm new, I've been wanting to get a e-book reader for a couple of years now, and I feel ready to take the plunge.

I'm looking to purchase one more for study than leisure as in I'll be using it to read papers, anyway, It's great to be here.

Welcome, Mickie! Be sure to check out the Wiki to learn about support for the formats that your papers usually appear in. If they are PDFs, there are some issues that you'll want to understand before you buy something. Luckily, there are utilities available that may be of help and, of course, lots of people willing to give advice.

Hello Mickie_Faraday, let us know which you decide to purchase
