Unhappy Disappointment....................

One of three things now that I have my 505 back from Sony after being repaired that have disappointed me:-

1. Am scared to use my reader after reading so many threads about damaged screens and of what happened to me (I did take my reader on holiday with me but it was wrapped in bubble plastic and then placed in a hard lunch box type case and then put in my carry on bag for the flight) My partner laughed at me when she casually threw her paperback on the floor, brushed her teeth got into bed and I was still trying to wrap my reader up (Concerned that in the middle of the night that there would be one of the kids with nightmares/sore stomach etc etc and the reader would be knocked of the night stand) Am a nervous wreck lol

2. Lack of books I want. I can read a variety of books and enjoy them but sometimes I just want to read a book cause it looks good an it appeals to me. I enjoy Robert Ludlum/Tom Clancy/Clive Clussler just for a good old bit of escapism but for instance Robert Ludlums "The Artic Adventure" on ebooks.com is not available outside basically the USA. Waterstones and W H Smiths are pretty limited so I guess just will have to wade through mountains of books that have little or no appeal to me just on the off chance of finding a gem.

3. So far I have spent about £100 on books, yet I don't own a single thing. I cant lend them to anyone so in a way, hard copy of books will never die out because of this. Imagine not being lend your paperback to a friend and inspiring them to go out and buy more books by that author?
