Maybe I'm in an unusual situation being exclusively English-reading (as far as novels are concerned) in a quiet part of France. Originally, new books were bought from English bookshops in Cannes and Nice (count on paying up to double cover price). Then a few years ago, health problems kicked in and I became housebound and reliant on online stores with P&P charges from the UK or US again doubling the cost of books -- sometimes P&P can be several times the price of a discounted book. Maybe this makes me heavily biased in favour of ebook readers. Pay once for the device and then read what you like without fear of the poor house. I do have a strong feeling, though, that I'd be an enthusiastic ereader fan even without the local hitch. Cheers. Neil
