Thank you, I just looked at Kobo they don't have all same selection of books (but have the most popular titles), however online there is nothing but positive comments. I feel that this may be the time for change!!!
An additional question. You mentioned jailbreaking, the other person with this problem{who is alittle bit more willing to try something new

} is wondering, if this jailbreak is done will the books just be able to be added to Calibre via 'add books to library' or would other steps be required.
Thank you for your assistance.
