Thanx to you all for your help.

Now I must settle down and do some serious homework based on what you so kindly have written.

I am so pleased that I discovered this forum before parting with good money and perhaps buying the wrong reader.

Living in Spain the cost of these goods is considerably higher than the in UK where I have family and can avail myself via them.

It appears that the formats are important, why in this day and age don't the manufacturers "standardise"! Makes one think that they just love making life difficult for old non-tech codgers like myself.

In the future, not too distant maybe, when the ereader really catches on (as did microwave ovens way back) the books will become more competetive and easily downloaded, swappable without hassle too.

Thanks again....Pabz. I shall keep watch on this forum!
