Thanks for the comments people. I am somewhat in a dilemma really. I have looked at EcoReader. I have a friend with one and I really like it, size, looks, ease of use and formats, but the Kindle is cheaper and I have read on this forum that you can use it for most formats. I'm still really not sure.

Nomesque I haven't seen that particular review, but as I say above I have physically held and used an EcoReader and do like it. Just the cost.

If I can get the Kindle to read pdf's I'd be happy. Nothing technical, pretty well just plain text and/or jpegs. Think I'll keep reading and researching. Not in too much of a hurry.

Neil, the friend with the EcoReader also looked at a Sony, don't know the model. She wasn't impressed, it couldn't turn on properly and just didn't seem reliable or value. She is a librarian and is looking at ereader's for use in the library. She really like to EcoReader because of the SD card. This makes it easy to load/read books.

Thanks again, and sorry this got a bit long.
