Hey ho!

So, I'm looking at getting a Reader. the problem is I'm in the UK, they're all pretty expensive, and I don't have anywhere to go and actually try them out.

My needs are pretty simple. I'm not exactly fussed about formats supported, I'm a virgin here and have no books in existing formats, so that isn't a problem.

My only really concern is, as most would be, the screen. I'd like a good screen on the device, or at least the best my budget allows.

So, I've been looking at 3 readers in particular. The PRS 505S, the CyBook Gen3 and the eSlick.

I suppose I could also stretch for a Kindle 2 imported, but this is a big stretch, it'd have to be a lot better than the other 3 for me to do it. I wouldn't benefit from the wireless purchasing of books since I'm in the EU, so yeah.

Any comments, guys and gals?

Thanks for any help.
