Hi There.
I'm new to the whole eReader thing and this forum so firstly hi!, and also help!
I am looking to buy my first ereader. I mainly need one that connects to my college library and one that I can make notes on academic texts/books. My library uses Adobe Digital Editions, so I have done a bit of reading and the Kobo Glo and The Sony seem to support this so I should be able to borrow from the library with this?
The Sony seems to be great for library and note making, but does not perform in low light and all the erviews say it is way behind technologically (although I'm not entirely sure what this means-oh dear!). The Kobo reviews say it is great for low light, library borrowing and PDf's (as is the Sony?) but not so good for making notes.
So I don't know which one to get! I feel like if I get the Sony it will be horribly outdated in a short space of time and I like the idea of being able to read in the dark with the Kobo. I am completely at sea on this!
I would rather an eReader to a tablet and LCD screens give me headaches after a whole day spent in front of them.
Also I am in Ireland so the Nook isn't available to me.
Thanks for reading all of this, sorry it's so long. Any help greatly appreciated!
