Hello,

I stumbled across MobileRead during my hunt for various reviews of different e-book readers. I don't own one yet, but am hoping to buy one, as soon as I can make up my mind regarding which. Hopefully you guys can help me with that.

I want to be able to read books on it, wifi and touch might be nice but not necessary. I have an mp3-player that I love, so getting sound out of it isn't stricktly necessary either. I want to be able to borrow e-books from my library. I'd like to be able to fairly easily find and buy books on the Internet, as well as download the free stuff from Project Gutenberg and such places.

The ones on my Top-3 list at the moment are
Pocketbook pro 602
Cybook Orizon
Sony T1 (since the 650 seems to be off the market)

I really like the look of the PB, but I'm a bit concerned about how tech savvy you have to be to get the most out of it. My husband is a Linux user so I'd be able to get some help from him starting out, but I want to be able to handle my reader on my own.

A lot of people seem to be raving about the T1, so it has to be good - right?

Not sure how much it matters, but I'm left handed and I live in Sweden.

If someone has an opinion on these readers regarding my wants, please share!
