I am undecided what to puchase - and have been dithering for a couple of weeks now so I thought I would ask the experts
What do I need an ereader for ?
1) I am studying at the OU and would like to be able to read there books on the device (pdf's), not really bothered about making notes on the reader as will make notes in a seperate real paper notebook
2) I am based in the UK so am concerned about the access to ebooks
3) Having investigated the ebooks available for each format I believe the ebooks for the kindle are cheaper than the books for the sony - I am mainly interested in Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Thrillers, having compared a few prices, amazon definately seems cheaper, also there seems to be a wider selection available from amazon - can people clarify this pls?
4) Following on from the above - just what is the difference between the formats e.g. what can a kindle read, and what can a PRS-600 read - (I believe the PRS-600 can read sony bbrb and epub books?)
4) I popped into John Lewis the other day and checked out a PRS-600 and loved it, so the problem with the kindle is there is nowhere to 'play with it' before purchase (I think this is one of my main worries, just in case it turns up and it is not up to my expectations)
5) I am a bit of an accessory freak and love the variety of accessories that are available for the kindle (like oberon books and the decalgirl skins), even though most of these things are only available from the States
for all your assistance in advance
