I have serious problems to read paper books.
I can read them, but holding them very near my eyes, and resulting the reading more an effort than a pleasure.

So, I need big font sizes and a good contrast ratio to be able to read in a more comfortable way.

I'd like to read more classic literature than recent best sellers (although some of these ones from time to time, too). I don't know if this question makes a difference about ebook formats (I'm completely newbie about ebooks).

Besides, my wife is studying for competitive examinations, and prepares her lessons with Microsoft Word (Office XP version), so it would be nice she could convert her lessons and study them on the reader. But this is a secondary matter.

Which reader do you recommend ?
Must I wait for new, more advanced models ?

Thank you very much in advance.
