Looking into the Amazon kindle. As I read its easy on the eyes etc.

Do any of you own an ebook reader?

Thanks

There are other threads about this. I have a Sony 505, love the e-ink. Wouldn't swap it for the world. Battery life is staggering in terms of gadgets. Brilliant.

Only drawback is DRM. So look into that. If it isn't an issue then couldn't recommend it enough.

My eyes don't do well with long-term lit displays as they are just not like e-ink for the amount of reading I do. You can use your favourite lamp and of course, read outside in the brightest of conditions.

Get one!

i've one from this mob : ebook readers. its pretty good - as John said, the e-ink is really good. it might be lacking the marketing buzz of the iPad, but e-ink is basically the technology that makes it more like reading paper. its perfectly readable even in sunlight, and shouldn't give you eye strain in the same way that reading from a regular screen might.
