Hi

Hi all, I think reading e-books is great! But I haven't yet any e-book reader. Which one should I buy? I need advice! I live in Milano, Italy....

Hi cristina, welcome to MR!

I don't know enough about the Italian market to give you advice about which one to buy because I'm not sure what's available there.

But..., just about everyone who has a Sony seems to be happy with them. Sony is coming out with new models in a couple more weeks, so they might be worth looking into.

If you don't get any satisfactory advice here in "Introduce Yourself", you might try browsing/posting in this forum.

ciao!

Hi Cristina, and welcome!

I'm also from Milan, and I'm the happy owner of a couple of babies: a Cybook Gen3 (bought through Pixmania, that has a handy pickup option in the Auchan Center near Monza, on the Milano-Lecco SS) and a Sony PRS-505, which isn't officially out in Italy but that I could get through eBay without much fussle (I also could get it repaired without fusses in a Sony assistance shop near Piazzale Accursio).

I must admit that for a lot of reasons I do prefer the Sony, and I'm about to *crosses fingers* get one of the new models too (so that I can convert my dad to the realm of ebooks!). On our market there's little option: BeBook, Cybook (check out the Opus, but right now they have a little problem and Bookeen isn't the best company for customer service practices) and Iliad (way too costly). And also, there's the issue of reading material- I just found LiberLiber and Project Gutemberg for Italian ebooks, so I feed on English and French texts (not that I mind it at all!). I know that Mondadori has some Oscars (on pdf format, I believe) and some articles/reviews from Il Mulino are also on electronic format, but that's about it

See you soon

Welcome to MobileRead, cristina!

I love my Sony 700 but am anxiously awaiting the 600 to see if the screen clarity is improved. Once you do get your reader, be sure and check out the free ebooks you can download here at MR. Enjoy.

Happy Reading
