3. How much is an average ebook, (ie. Terry Prattchets paperback is aprox 8 quid in WS, I imagine it would be half-price?) and which format should I be interested in. Which format is the most popular, cheepest, nicest and futureproof (Don't want to buy something that will be not compatibile in 2 years).
4. Which ereader is most popular on the forum and why?

1. Yes, but at least two years out IMO. Less fragile B&W displays should be out by the end of the year.
2. Kindle. Not available in UK
3. My average buy price over the years has been around £3. But that's because I keep an eye out for bundle deals and wait for special offers. An individual book that's now in paperback will cost around $7 or about £5.
4. No overall favourite.
In the UK, the Bookeen CyBook is good value, and a good reader for Mobipocket format ebooks. Avalable from WH Smiths online.
