E-reader novice in Perth
Hello all. I should perhaps have called myself "terminally indecisive in Perth", as I keep havering about whether I want an e-reader or not. There are so many knowledgeable people here that I hope you can help me decide! I've already learned a lot from reading forum posts over the last few weeks, so thank you all for that.

Introduce yourself ... ummm ... well, I was born in the UK, but moved to Perth in Western Australia five years ago after falling in love with Australia on my first visit here. I spend my time bushwalking, doing Pilates and Zumba, volunteering as a literacy tutor and, yes, reading. I look forward to a continuing education here.

Good to have your company, Alison. A new Australia-friendly device was launched recently in Oz. It's called the Kogan. You taken a look at that? Good luck in your eventual choice. Best wishes. Neil

Hello, Neil, and thanks for your welcome. I have looked at discussions of the Kogan, and was put off by some of the comments, especially the slow page turning. I am trying to get my thoughts and questions into some kind of logical order so that I can ask for specific advice under the "which one should I buy?" rubric. Regards, Alison

Welcome to Mobile Read from the Netherlands and good luck finding an ereader; you'll love it. There's lots of free books (classics and non-classics).

Hi Alison and welcome to MobileRead. I've had a Sony 505 for close to three years and really like it.
