Wowen and MacEachaidh - THANKS! I'm having fun just chatting with you. In a former life I was a journo, and I never heard of dithering then, so am happy to learn about it now.
I will certainly check the firmware situation...I always forget about that.
Yes, I saw your other post on the Kobo...I was looking at that but something stopped me from buying it..can't now remember what!
I'm thrilled to hear about sitting out in the sun reading it with ease, as that's what I will be doing soon!
And I agree with you re the lack of support (FYI, I a Sydneysider also!)...I was VERY impressed with the speed and quality of response when I had the Bebook for a short time. I bought it from the Netherlands rather than Australia (long story! a mistake) and the Dutch were amazing in their long emails trying to help me solve the problems. After a week of messing about, I just sent it back and within 7 days had an email from PayPal saying the refund was coming through (I'm still waiting to see it appear on my credit card).
IRiver could certainly take a leaf out of their book in that department.
Again, thanks for all your detailed help
cheers
