Hi
As you've probably guesed by the title that i'm an old wrinkley wanting to learn about ereaders. i am 65 years young and retired,When I was at work I listened to audio books on an Ipod Classic, but now i want to get to grips with a good ereader.
1... I would like a machine that reads most popular formats.
2... That could be also used for Audio Books like the Ipod.
3... That I can convert and read books that I put on Via computer that can be borrowed or bought from anywhere.
4...And lastly maybe play video ( but not necessary )

See I believe that you should always be pratical when buying any gadget etc.

Thanks alot for hearing ( reading ) me out.

Good to have the company of another greybeard, Andy, you help pull up the average age here, so all us old folks can feel a bit better. Why not pop your question into the *Which One Should I Buy?* forum here or scout through that forum for impartial reviews of the devices available? What you need is probably out there in plan sight. Good luck and best wishes. Neil
