Live in England, read lots of paperback novels (current and classic - one a week), have small girly hands and weedy girly arms (am small female so not surprising), late but now v enthusiatic convert to IPods, wanting to buy Ebook reader as running out of shelf space. Upfront hardware cost not an issue (as am getting it as a present) so which is the best reader to go for in terms of combining lightweight, easy to use, availability/price of new novels, reading experience, and being able to listen to audio books occasionally (which I mainly do on my IPod)? And are any of them bath-safe? I dont mind the faff of initial set up/transfer (used to that from IPod), dont want to read newspapers, dont need wireless, dont want to annotate, take to lectures or any of that stuff, I just want to read the electronic equivalent of classic and current fiction, any time, any place, any where, as the ad used to say. Bit worried about supporting world dominance of Amazon (plus keyboard clearly surplus to requirements) and Iliad might be a bit heavy so it's looking like the Sony? What about the Cybook - doesnt seem to get much of a mention? Are there any other serious contenders available in the UK (as have checked out the wiki page here and just mentally crashed faced with so many options and more technical info than I'll ever make sense of)? And are there any new developments coming out in the next few months, as I wont be getting it til November in any event? And any worthwhile accessories I should score while I'm at it? All advice/thoughts/views/experiences gratefully received.
