Reader to see in West Australia

Well it seems as if we may be making some progress in West Oz.

After searching & searching I have finally found a reader I could look at and actually touch (for the first time).

As of today Harvey Norman have the Iriver Story in stock and selling at $398AU.

Don't know if it's any good I'll have to research that but at least it has provided the opportunity to see what these things really look like and I have to say I was pretty impressed (in a general sense that is) with its readability which I think my aging eyes could handle. The salesman even let me have a little play with it so that was a bonus.

I can safely say it's the best one I've seen but I must say, before anyone takes that as an endorsement, that it's the only one I've seen due to the extremely slim pickings here in West Oz.

If you are in the same boat as me then zip into Harvey Normans and have a look.

Regards
Kevin
