Hi Em,

Welcome to Mobileread. Check out the classic ebooks in our ebooks section.

As for a reader - There's a bunch of new readers just on their way - 5" eInk ones and updated 6" eInk ones. Sony will shortly be releasing two new models, Bookeen have their new Opus out (HarryT's should arrive today!) and BeBook have something in the works too.

On a small scale, if you have a Symbian or WinCE or Mobile Windows phone, you can probably download a version of the Mobipocket reader software for it - I read on a PDA or mobile phone for several years before getting an eInk reader. It works surprisingly well.

Oh - and we have a book club that choose one book per month and then reads and discusses it.

July's book was "Three Men in a Boat" and the August vote is happening now - see

It looks like Nineteen Eight-Four is going to win, but perhaps there's be a late surge for "Little Brother" or one of the others.
