Hello from Toulouse

Hi!
I'm new to this forum and am staying in Toulouse for the next 6 month because my company needs me in France. Naturally I'm, living and working in Hamburg (Germany).
Anyway. I have registered here in search for information about E-Book reader devices, because reading on my notebook is not something I want to do every day. It's not really comfortable.
I know the name of the devices that are not in my selected choice - like Kindle, STAReBook or iRex iLiad. Either because of the price or that they not support the ebooks I have in my possession (mostly doc files, html anf PDF).
That left me with HanLin (V2, V3, etc), Sony or Bookeen.

I hope to get additional information on those devices so I can buy one before I return to Hamburg. It would make my stay in France much more pleasant. I like to read a good story in the evening before going to bed.

Greetings,
Gabriele

Hi gabster272 and welcome to the Forum. I have a Sony 505 and like it a lot.

You'll get lots of good advice here

Hi Cassidym,

I hope so. My ebook file is getting longer by browsing through this forum

Lucky me there are so much devices to sort through.

Hopefully I can reach a decision during the next four weeks

Hi gabster !
Welcome here

I live in Toulouse and recently bought a Sony Reader.
If you want and if we both find the time, we can try to meet so I could show you the Reader.
I love it ! I was reading on a clié before, and the e-ink has nothing in common : it's totally readable.
I bought my reader mid November and I've already read more than twenty novels on it

The only thing is : I don't know if you can get many German books without mobipocket drm which can't be convert to LRF.
