I'm just about convinced tbh, thanks for all your help, good to hear from someone who uses it instead of just a site reviewing. | |

quote: I travel a lot and would rather carry one ebook reader than say 5 books, plus I can read files for work rtf, pdf etc. I read quite obscure books mainly historical, so if you take postage from US etc into account an ebook is much cheaper than the hard copy would be. It may not be a book but I got used to it very quickly. | |

Were you a big reader of paper books previously? | |

I have bought pdf and epub format books. If you register the reader with sony they will let you download 125 ebooks for free (classics etc, but free is free and some are good). This is a useful site - good for finding free ebooks and paid ones etc http://www.the-ebook-reader.com/ | |

Just having a look at the Sony ones, there doesn't seem to be any benefit to the touchscreen one apart from the bigger screen and it's abot 50% more. | |

have a few books in pdf and they all look good on the sony 300. I also tried the touchscreen Sony the 600 , personally did not like it, the touchscreen is just not as sharp as the 300 . I got my 300 in Waterstones for £149 with £10 ebook card free, plus if you get or have the waterstones customer card you will get another £5 in points. | |

I wouldn't buy that many, being able to display pdf's is more important. | |

if you want to only buy books from Amazon go with the kindle. Otherwise the Sony range is good, especially the 300. | |

If you could let me know what he/you think of it that would be brilliant, there's no point me ordering one tonight anyway :thumbs: | |
