Where do U buy books from - are you limited as to type - do U download them - and if so, how and by what means? Many thanks - and I will probably have more questions! Val

Would you believe I haven't bought a single book yet? I bought my reader mainly for reading fanfiction and free books.
I live in Australia and with geographic restrictions, the thought of buying online is a headache for me, at the moment. I've searched a few of the ebook shops and most of what I wanted isn't available to me as an ebook. I'm hoping that the restrictions let up a lot once people realise that Aussies are actually buying the devices to read ebooks on and that Kindle is not the only option out there.
I've now had my Pocketbook 360 for over a month and I am still in love with it. It does exactly what I wanted it to do and the file organisation system (bookshelf) is wonderful. I am a file organising junkie.
I can't recommend it highly enough.
Also, if you're worried that the 5" screen might be too small for you, I did too. I do find it a little smaller than I wanted in portrait orientation, but in landscape it's exactly the width I feel most comfortable reading. The beauty with the 360 is just that, it rotates 360. Anyone will be comfortable reading it in any orientation. I'm left-handed so that was a consideration for me.
I can imagine anyone being unhappy with a PB360 and no, I don't work for them!
