Thanks for the reply, and please excuse my slow response - busy, busy...

It's the 'choosing a book from the menu' I found very slow, with clunky, platform-specific desktop software and what seemed like poor file management on the device itself. Not my idea of user friendly, personally, but I understand others may have different experiences having used one in earnest, rather than an extended 'play' like I had.

Considering you want a solid device and don't want a dictionary and have a lot of LIT books which are very easy to convert to LRF I would say the Sony would be a good bet for you.

I've pretty much come to that conclusion; shame it didn't 'wow' me when I used my dad's, which is why I was leaning towards the Cybook...

If you want something a bit smaller, but it is not an eInk device you might want to look at the Jetbook. You would have to convert your books to .txt. It also has a world-wide warranty.BOb

Yes, I saw your review in another thread - many thanks for posting that. The Jetbooks sounds interesting, and I hadn't realised the warranty was world-wide, which is a bonus. More food for thought.
Thanks again
Peter.
