Hi,

First post,, Looking for a ebook reader for the wife, it will be mainly for buying newish titles i.e. patterson etc.

Looking at the sony (though not available in europe yet) but having to be locked into sonys format, maybe a deal breaker.

bebook looks interesting, though I believe it can not view mobipocket stuff at the moment.

I am drawn to the cybook.

iliad out of my price range.

Mainly after, something easy to use, clear to read, easy to download books onto. Dont want to have to format anything before hand, page numbers would be nice and if it nows which page you were on after switching off. Speed and refresh rate probably not to much of an issue as you get used to things after use. wifi not important as the wife doesnt have a clue about that sort of thing.

Thanks

Sheppy

any advice?
