Hi. I am new here. I have been reading posts for a few weeks have been trying to decide what I device I would like to get. I am still yet to decide but have been looking closely at the Sony PRS-505, Sony PRS-700, Iliad 2nd Edition, Kindle and iRex 1000S. Of those, only the iliad 2nd Edition and iRex 1000S can be purchased where I live (Australia). Even so, I am still really considering the Sony and Kindle devices.....good old eBay will provide the way.
The Kindle II looks like it might be good too. I am holding off on my decision, not that I have been able to make one, until after the Kindle II announcement. I really hope that it is available for purchase in Australia, it might just be the deciding factor for me. Failing that, it's back to reading and trying to decide.
I have a few programming text books in PDF and CHM format. Besides, that I don't have too much....yet. Besides the programming books, I have only purchased a few novels from eReader for reading on my Palm TX. Most of my book purchases to date have been books made from paper, but I have started to get texts in digital format so as I don't have to carry them to and from work. I like to read them in both locations.
I also have to read, write and correct Word documents for work. So, I want something suitable for all of this. I don't expect to write documents on an eReader, but to be able to read Word documents and to add notes for review meetings would be a bonus.
Any suggestions or comments are much appreciated.
