Buy Ebook reader (MUST read Epub)

Xiaopanda · 07-26-2011, 10:44 PM

Hi all,

Looking to buy an ebook reader, prefeably something with a back light, or a lighting option at least. Happy if it isn't an E-Ink screen (obviously)...

Must read Epub (doesn't everything?)

Must be able to be posted / sent / transported to Australia (happy to pay reasonable postage).

PM me with interest!

Xaiopanda!

You might find other ebook formats such as PDF or MOBI which provide more books. Do you want to read only ePub books?

Seems pretty obvious to me. He's looking to buy an eBook reader that can read ePub books.

And he is going to have sticker shock when he sees how much it will cost to ship from the US to Australia... Maybe it will be cheaper from Europe or somewhere closer...

Well said, Harry!

And, you know, it's not really SOO bad from the US to here (I bought my Sony 700 from here - from the US)..

It never hurts to ask!

Just for clairty, I am looking for a reader that reads Epub format, preferably back lit or with a lighting option included, and not needed to be E ink.

Figured maybe someone had something sitting in a draw somewhere that might do better sitting in MY hands.

I gave my sony away to my poor and pregnant sister in law (brownie points) and am looking for a replacement - Reading on my Android phone has lost it's novelty..no pun intended...
