Well, now I have it I must say I am very impressed!.

Not having seen one "in the flesh" before deciding to buy I had only illustrations & the comments of you guys. I must say that it lives up to what you all have said.https://www.mobileread.com/forums/ima...1/thumbsup.gif
As a bonus I am experiencing less eye strain than a paper book - strange! and much much less than reading on my notebook. Although I did find the background a bit grey to start with, do they lighten with use? or have I just acclimatized .

The reason for the delivery delay was because it was sitting in the courier's depot over an address query. They could not call me to check because Waterstones, the UK courier, or whoever had not put my contact telephone number on the packet or passed it on electronically. Irritating as I made a point it was essential.
If I had not had to chase Waterstones so many times for the tracking number, (which I only managed to get in the end by threatening them with the wrath of Visa), I would have had it within the time stated. Instead it just sat and sat with nobody doing anything about it. Presumably after the 30 days being returned to source.
