Hi All,

Only recently discovered the ability to read on the move and think it is a great idea.

Tried to do this with many different devices over the years, including Compaq IPAQ, laptops, Samsung Q1 tablet pc, Apple iTouch, PSP, basically none of them work but you all know that anyway. They do the job of course, but the eye strain is just too much.

Watched the Gadget Show a couple of weeks ago and realised these products were there and exactly what I want.

Most of my photographic books I have in pdf format which I get first and then if I like the book I buy it. The trouble and typical problem is, have you seen the Photoshop book for CS3! It would fill my small bag before I even began, then you would get wrist strain from reading it in bed!

I read novels in the evening/night time. Photography books, pdf's for work and anything else that interests me.

Found this rather incredible site when searching for the bebook which was on my short list.

Amazing that there are so many of you and I had never come across the concept!

So I now have another possible hobby/learning tool to add to my ever increasing collection. Already on three photographic, two motorhome, Land Rover Discovery III, classic Mini, detailing (car cleaning), Yamaha keyboard (soon to go), radio controlled helicopter, Audio Visual (AV Forums) and a few other forums. Were do I get the time?

Regards

Chris

Hi cassidym,

Thanks for the welcome.

Yes I have been looking through. Just got back from Swindon Sony store where they had the new reader but unable to sell it until Thursday. Seemed good but not overly sure if it is right for me.

I had already decided the bebook would be the product. Still umming and ahhing!

Regards

Chris
