Hi I'm John (UK) and new to this forum and have a question for other members.

I am using an Archos 5 Android to read E-Books at the moment and would like something a little bigger which show the text better. It has to be small enough to go in my pocket. I am looking at the new Kindle which has a 6" display against the 5" of the Archos and wondered if extra size made much difference. I want to be able to read outdoors as the Archos is unreadable bright light/sunlight, and wondered how well something like the Kindle coped with such conditions.

I am on a limited budget £100 -£150 and the Kindle at £109 fits that budget nicely. Any sugestions, comments etc. would be helpful and as I live in the UK not all readers are available to me.

TIA John
