Why are you taking him seriously? It's obvious he has a beef with being proven wrong.

Essentially, you cannot buy books from Sony (sucky bookstore), Barnes and Noble (already not available for any one outside the US without jumping through hopes) and Kobo but you can from a large number of other sites. Nevermind that Amazon has the largest e-book store which means that she is likely to find what she wants to read there at a competitive price so she probably won't have to leave Amazon. And you talk about Kindle owners being foaming at the mouth fan boys. I am starting to wonder if Jon has managed to take over your account and passing on his anti-Amazon campaign under another name. |

haha my word this little post has brought out the handbags at five paces on-line equivalent. Think I'm going to go for the Kindle with Wifi only as £60 for 3G which I'm not sure she will use is pointless. Thanks for the help.

If someone has a differing opinion, you say they're a troll. I remember you in particular for hating on Kindle DX users who were unhappy because their device is no longer receiving software updates. I suppose those DX users were trolls too.

You on the other hand just walked in here and suggested that owning a kindle automatically makes one a "foaming-at-the-mouth fan-boy zealot". That is trolling and nothing else. |

I'm a huge Sony fan but for a mom I would say get a Kindle because of its association with the Amazon store. It will be much easier for your mom to use since she won't have to plug it in a computer to load the books. The Sony T1 has the capability to download books straight to the device but Sony's bookstore is not very good compared to Amazon. I'm guessing your mom will not be wanting to remove DRM or change formats or anything like that.

try the waterstones website - http://www.waterstones.com/waterston...-readers/1918/ - they are selling the cybook opus for £50 pounds and the case for a fiver and it might be just the ticket.
small,light and very easy to use. cheers,mick. |

The biggest issue is the library books - if your mum already uses the library, she's almost certain to want to use the ereader with it, and the Kindle just simply will not work, and there's no indication that's going to change any time soon.
Personally, I vote for the Sony T1, but that's because it satisfied everything on my quite picky list. OTOH, if you want to get a cheaper reader, the Kobo's currently being sold at around £67 (Waterstones, Asda, Currys), and it does work with UK libraries. |
