Hi demonfairy and welcome to MR

I'm sorry to hear about your problems--I hope an ebook reader will be some comfort to you.

I have a Kindle 1 and really don't know how I got along without it! There are many helpful--and opinionated (I mean that in the best way

)--people on MR so I'm confident that you'll get lots of good advice. Here's my 2 cents: since you mentioned money, I think you might get more bang for your buck with a Sony 505 than a Kindle. Don't get me wrong, I love my Kindle and think there are some great things about it that other readers don't have (namely Whispernet)--but the e-ink screen in a Sony is identical to the e-ink screen in a Kindle. I recently saw a promotion for a 505 from, was it Best Buy?, for USD 199.

Good luck and happy reading!

Welcome to the forums. These forums are so addictive that they take away from the time I should be spending with my Sony Reader. I hope you enjoy looking around.

And desertgrandma's right, you need to go post in the giveaway forum. Don't miss out on a chance to win a free ebook reader. Follow her link.

If you are in the U.S., check out www.craigslist.org in your area. I've seen Sony 505s for as little as $150 in the San Diego area. It's a good investment since the free books available around here and some of the ebook websites as well as your local library will keep you occupied for many, many hours.
