Hi Alan,

No one will know your secret. My lips are sealed. Welcome to MR. Poke around a bit here. Lots to make the snooping worthwhile.

Good to have your company, Alan, from the quaint and sleepy fishing village of Dagenham (once also famous for spectacular car plant strikes, as I recall -- but I promise not to mention that here). Very best wishes. Neil

I have spent a lot of time talking to owners of different readers about their e book readers and learning which is good for what and let me tell you the answer of the question - which is the best? really depends on how you answer this question - what's important to you?

Hi All
Thanks for welcome
What I want in a reader is simplicity ease of use and the ability to choose books from more than one provider
The Kindle ticks most boxes but the really important one books from more than one source. I know Amazon can supply most books but at a price whereas
I want to download from the many free sites around then buy those I want to keep.
Greedy I know but two things you cant have enough of books and laughter

The Kindle can read any DRM-free Mobipocket-format book; one is certainly not restricted to getting books from Amazon.
