Hi everyone,

I just registered so I thought I'd say hi first.
I'm Sara from Denmark, and I'm planning to buy my first E-reader soon.
I find it really hard to choose which one so I'm hoping to get some inspiration browsing through the posts here

The answer to your question really depends on what is important to you Sarani. Please look through my comments below and determine which feature(s) are most important to you, and select one based on what features are important to you, there is no one best reader for all people it depends:

Do you forsee yourself as having a gigantic electronic library at one time - Get a Kindle, it has a search function;
Want simplicity of operation - get a Kobo, it has one button and simple to use;
Do you forsee yourself buying unusal books as opposed to bestsellers - get a Kindle lets face it Amazon has everything;
Want to save dollars - buy a Kobo, they are going for approximatly $100;
Want color screen - try a Nook or a Libra Pro Color
Need to take notes in the margins and foreign languege dictionaries - Get a Sony PRS
Reading foreign languege books or ones on A4 paper - buy a bookeen
Do you forsee needing a lot of tech support - try a ipad;
Do you have a smart phone and want to pay $0, there are several readers that you can download for nothing buy from any of the stores.
