Hello from Sweden

Hi all,

I'm new to ebooks and haven't bought a reader yet, but for my needs the iRiver story looks like a good candidate.

I have RSI problems and reading a physical book is sometimes difficult so an e-reader is probably a good way get around that. And the sheer number of free books available doesn't hurt.

I imagine it will essentially replace paperbacks for me, which in my case means mostly fiction.

Good to have your company, Jarulf. Before making your choice, why not check out here the 'Which One Should I Buy?' sub forum for independent reviews of pretty well all devices on the market. It's all a matter of what you want to use your reader for and your geographical location. Good luck and best wishes. Neil

Thanks for the welcome and advice everyone.

I'll be sure to look around the forums before settling on a device to get. My requirements are fairly simple, cost is important unfortunately, I do not want to be tied to a specific on-line store and as few DRM restrictions as possible.
It will mostly be used at home, so weight and general ruggedness is of lesser importance. Epub support is a must, but that should hardly be a problem, decent pdf a bonus.

But I'll get into this later in the proper sub-forum
