hi from australia
hi to everyone from australia.

i have not yet bought an ereader and have been itching to get my hands on one. still deciding which.

my brother is visiting america later this year and i am hoping he can pick up one for me. some are apparently available through online stores here, but at very inflated prices. nearly bought kobo available from borders, but my local store had sold out! just as well, for a bit extra, something more upmarket can be obtained from overseas.

the sony prs600 is looking good. though, as i delve further into these forums, something better might turn up.

cheers
sonja

Good to have your company, Sonja. There are many Australian MR members who'd be glad to offer advice. Also take a look at the *Which One Should I Buy?* thread. Much depends on what you want to read and where you're based. Best wishes and good luck. Neil

Welcome Sonja,

I'm fairly new here myself and have been helped tremendously by the posts I have read.

For what it's worth, I have the PocketBook 360, purchased online from the US for a lot less than anything half decent I saw here in Oz. So far, I'm loving it!

Cheers, Steve

Hi Sonja, welcome!

I just bought a PRS-300, I love it I'm sure something with more features would be even better, but it's lightweight and I don't have to worry about running out of reading material - bliss!
