Hello all!
This is my first post and I am looking for some help. Let me start by saying I have a macbook running OSX 10.4.11 (tiger). This seems to be a big factor in my decision!
I am a wardrobe supervisor who works on cruise ships and loves to read. My trouble has always been that I then have to pack a lot of books for a 6 month contract, or don't pack the ones that I then want etc etc. With an ebook reader I could carry as many books as I want and just pack the one item. I had long been looking at a Kindle, but being in the UK put a dampener on that as I hear it still isn't really fully available or functional here when I'm home.
I started looking at the Sony PRS-600 but then I read that it didn't work on OSX Tiger. I also heard it doesn't work with Snow Leopard either so that put that one out. I looked at an iPod Touch with Stanza, but I think the screen will be too small and the light too much of a strain on my eyes for whole books. The iPad is too new and too expensive.
Any advice on what I should look at? I want a ereader around £200 or so that works will my mac and doesn't tie me down to one store. I want it to be pretty too
I have several ebooks on my laptop that I would like to add to it, I have calibre currently keeping them organised.
What should I be looking at? Where do I start?! I'm more confused now that when I started looking into it properly two days ago!! Do I really need to update my operating system to solve this?
TIA!
Joanne
