Also meant to add [and I hope this is helpful to anyone thinking of buying a reader] ...
... if you belong to a cashback site [get a percentage of moneyback with online retailers] and fatcheese is a very good one you will get even more money off
I managed to get a further 13 pounds off for clicking through to whsmiths from the fatcheese site so the touch effectively cost 206 pounds
Hope some other people benefit from this tip
