In your opinions what is the best reader available in the UK for accessible book formats and ease of use.

Thanks

have you ever used an ebook? If not, I'd first of all play around with one in a store to see how you find them - you will find the Sony models in Waterstones, and the Kobo in WHSmith, while the Kindles are available in some Tesco stores (though I am not sure whether you can play around with them). I guess you already know about book formats, just bear in mind that the adobe DRM formats read by sony and kobo are also available from independent bookstores such as Foyle's (but of course the selection that Amazon has is huge).
