Hi All

I have been reading your well informed forums for the last 2 days - I have never owned a e reader but would like to buy one in the next couple of weeks. You are the experts and any help and advice you can offer would be appreciated. I am Australian

I am very confused - I only would like one for reading - I like to travel so the thought of not carrying to many books is my main reason. I won't have a computer with me when I travel

Can you please tell me which would suit me the best sony (which one) Bebook Neo - Astak Ez 5 pocket, Cybook Opus . Kindal 2

By reading the forums I think I would like one with replaceable/rechargeable battery, SD slot, jump ahead jump back option, folder to sort books, wifi maybe but not necessary but could be good. Also would like to access lots of different ebook sites and libraries. If you don't have a Kindal can you still by ebooks from Amazon?

I don't normally update my gadgets and like to keep them until they die a natural death so would like something that will grow old with me. I am not so computer savvy - I am in my 50's.

If anyone can offer some advice I would be forever grateful as it seems very hard to make a decision on which one is going to be the best. Thanks Mandy
