I'm hoping to buy my first eBook reader, but know absolutely nothing about them. I've looked at the Sony PRS 300 and 505 and they both look good, but I don't really know about any non-Sony ones.

I'll be reading an assortment of books - the store (Sony store etc.) is not important. I'll probably be getting a lot of books, though being a slow reader as I am, I probably won't be having thousands on there at once (at least not at first). Don't really know what to expect - my only experience with eBooks is seeing other people with them on the tube - though I've been planning to get back in to reading and real books take up space/ are expensive.

I live in the UK so Kindle isn't an option.

Don't know if I want a 5' or 6', though I suppose 5' would be nicer. Would like it to be light and as small as possible. Would love an SD card slot but not 100% necessary...

Suggestions please?

EDIT: Actually weight is not an issue - I like solidly built gadgetry.
