I like the Sony devices, they're cheap and available in the UK, but no Wifi, what other devices should I consider? They can all view books, so I'm more interested in comparisons over newspaper/blog reading etc.
All the best

In my opinion, the "feeling" of reading a newspaper on Kindle totally gets lost.
It's like reading a newsfeed, not an actual newspaper.
No columns, mostly the pics are gone, ...
I very much prefer the way, newspapers are handled on iRex 1000S.

You can test it on your PC, the layout on iRex 1000S will be the same.
It's not perfect, my local newspaper for example isn't available (mostly US ones), but from a technological perspective the most appealing solution I've found.
Of course, if it's just about the information, you can generate newsfeeds via "calibre" and upload them to any reader you want. Works great, but I miss the "look and feel" of "real" newspapers.
