Hi from me in snowy Scotland.
First saw the Sony Reader in a report late in Autumn 2007 - thought that was a good idea. Then the Kindle surfaced !
Only then did I realise there were such things as e-readers !! Don't laugh

it's true - did numerous searches and was amazed.
I like the idea that an e-reader could help reduce the amount of paper used, though I recognise that's a very long term project. BUT I particularly like the idea of many books in one small piece of kit - and no more problems with storage............
Don't get me wrong, I love books - I always have . And many hard/soft backs are fond friends, especially art books. But I do have a serious problem with where to put bookcases etc, plus keeping cats away from them too !.
So after much deliberation I seem to be coming down to looking at the Bookeen CyGen3. I only want to read books, so nothing fancy - though the MP3 player will be a waste of time for me.
What a long intro ! sorry !
