Hello, all, and many thanks for your welcome messages. Thank you also for the advice re what reader to buy.
I've almost decided on the Sony PRS650 based on information both here and the various reviews I've read - including industry, media, and personal reviews. It's a bit pricier than I'd intended to pay, particularly as I'll need to buy a cover for it separately, but I reckon I might as well go the whole hog as I intend to use it often.
I checked out the Kogan, Neil, particularly as we have a Kogan TV which has been excellent, but the reviews (from users in particular) have been a bit problematic.
No doubt my husband will be happy - he's packed, loaded and transported many tea chests of my books so many times when we've moved house/town, that he reckons if I die before him, immediately after the funeral he's going to light a bonfire in the back yard, sit on the steps, and throw
all of my books in, one at a time.

He's not a reader!!
Cheers
Carol
