Thanks for all your suggestions. As an older reader and not a computer person what i really want from ebooks is to be able to 'use' them in the same way as a paper book ie buy them from who i want, lend them to whomever i want and then sell them on if i want. Obviously this is too much to ask for. Whilst i lust after the Sony it just does not give me either the flexibility or, at the moment, content i am looking for so i may just have to stick with the paper variety for now plus i just don't understand all the format types (told you i wasn't technical) which frankly i find daunting. Anyway thanks for taking the trouble to reply and i'll probably revisit the whole issue when the kindle arrives.
