Nope. The closest is in Milton Keynes.

However, I am not interested in it. I was in MK a week ago, could have a look at it, but took a rain check. I am not a gadget man. It is not my style to buy a gadget for the sake of owning a cool device. Probably I am not rich enough.
I would like a new ebook reader, something like PRS-900 with a standard ratio either 6", 8" or 9.7" but with clarity of 505 screen.
If I am on the go, I use the opportunity to read and if I read I need eInk, no LCDs for me. At home and at work I have desktops, laptops and netbook for ordinary things. Although I started to develop a strong dislike for my netbook's 10.1" screen. It is too small. Very uncomfortable, even though it opens almost 180 degrees and I can lay in bad and hold it like a piece of paper. Let alone, I can install on it absolutely anything I want, just like on my laptop or desktop. Otherwise I don't see any use for iPad
