I can truely say that I got my money's worth with the reader this week.

My wife ended up in the hospital and I as the dutiful husband decided to remain at her bedside. Being an avid reader I was faced with what to bring with me. Then it hit me that the reader was all I needed as I have been slowly loading it full of books (up to 80 now) and I could read whatever struck my fancy. Sure enough, it kept me busy for the long days.

We are home now but I am not neglecting my wife nor reader.

I second that sentiment. Glad she's doing well enough to be at home.

I'm glad your wife is doing better and can be at home now.

My wife had to go into the hospital last year and I did have my paperback books with me. No Sony back then. I can easily see how the Sony helps. One device many books.

That's good news and bad news (respectively), aleks. The only thing you can do is buy a second Reader.
