Hi there,

So this is where all the bookworms hang out - and what a great site it is.

Unfortunately, I'm the sad owner of a Softbook 250e that has taken it's last breath and no longer shine it's little backlight so I can read thrillers until the wee hours of the morn.

Spose I'll be getting more sleep....! Anyway, been checking out this excellent site, which has so much information I'm a bit dizzy.

I'm tossing up whether to go for Sony PRS-550 or EB-1150. I've read all the specs and in the end it comes down to price and availability.

Can anyone suggest how I could purchase the $109 EB-1150 from USA and have it delivered to Australia? The only way I've seen possible is to use the "www.shoppingintheusa.com" site, which I think is also called "www.uspersonalshoppers.com". Bit fiddly though having to do things this way.

I believe my Softbook (rest its poor soul) is the equivalent of the ETI-2. I will really miss it as it has a huge screen that makes reading so easy. Am hoping its baby grandchild, the EB-1150, might be a suitable replacement. If unable to get one to Australia I will probably go for the Sony PRS-550.

Any suggestions would be welcome so I can decide.

Cheers to all and happy reading.
