Hello - I'm Peggy, and I'm an American export to Northern Ireland
I'm a voracious reader, but I've run out of space for paper books in my wee house! Therefore I started buying ebooks.
I've been reading ebooks on my computer for about a year and a half, waiting to see what ereaders come out. I finally decided to buy the Sony PRS-600, but after finding your lovely forum I can't make up my mind! I liked the idea of a touch screen (though it's not required) but many of you have raised issues about glare. I saw the 600 in Waterstones and the glare didn't look too bad to me... though of course I haven't used any device beyond my computer screen for ebooks as yet!. I also want a memory slot. After looking through your reviews, the Bookeen Opus looked great... until I read about the freezing issues.
If the Sony PRS-300 had an expansion slot or a larger memory I'd buy it in an instant... but it doesn't!
Can anyone make any recommendations for me? I'd be looking for a machine that can read epub and ADE DRM books, as those are the main formats I have. I'd want to be able to add additional memory (unless like the Opus the memory is fine - 1Gb should be sufficient for anyone, even on a two week trip!). I'm not too fussed (at the moment) over being able to play music on it (I have an ipod nano) or photos (unless it was in colour). I'd also be looking for something dependable and that I don't have to do a lot of fuss with. (So have I asked for the sun and the moon yet?)
I'd really appreciate some guidance!! Thanks in advance
Cheers,
Peggy
