Hi,

I'm a new member to the board, lurking in the shadows up until now. I have wanted an e-reader for a while, since seeing the Kindle advertised on Amazon. However, I am in the UK and so the Kindle has not been an option. I then saw the Sony but as a Mac user, this was a 'no go' too.

I am rather taken by the Bebook (or Hanlin) as it works on a Mac and as I am only interested in reading novels (rather than work documents etc.), this seems the best option. I also like the fact that the battery is the same as a Nokia's and therefore can be purchased elsewhere from the supplier. The problem that I have is that the Bebook does not support Mobipocket yet.

What is your experience of the Bebook/Hanlin and is the Mobipocket availability going to be a reality anytime soon??
