Hi

I returned the Binatone to Argos for a refund and bought the Sony PRS 600 from W.H. Smith. They have a great selection and all are cheaper than Argos. The Sony PRS 300 is only £20 more than the Argos Binatone.

The Sony software is awful but 'Calibre' is superb and free, and seems to support just about any ebook reader ever made.

I think it's great. The touch screen makes it even better than my late lamented BeBook. The screen does glare a bit, but with careful 'angling' it's not a big problem.

I also bought and would highly recommend the 'Innov8' leather cover for the Sony. Far cheaper than any Sony offering.
