In the UK I'd highly recommend the Bookeen CyBook, which you can get from W H Smith online for a penny under £180 (includes VAT, p&p and a nice case).

http://www.whsmith.co.uk/CatalogAndS...-90010859.html

Then you'll be able to read any Mobipocket format ebooks from any of the numerous ebook stores that sell Mobipocket format ebooks.

In general, US ebook stores are cheaper the UK ones so I'd recommend http://www.booksonboard.com/ and http://www.fictionwise.com/

And, of course, all the wonderful out-of-copyright books available here in the Mobileread Mobipocket forum

I'm in the UK and looking for a reader (not too expensive) that I can download a good number of fiction books for cheaply.
I'm not very techie at all and have seen a few mentions of converting files but that is beyond me unless someone can put it into Janet & John simple language for me.
Any suggestions at all on what type I should look for?
Many Thanks
Lisa
