Righty, has anyone had a look? I've seen the Illiad and it looks pretty good. Good enough that it's converted a technophobe.

I want mine now! I wish they would stop talking about them on the news.

Indeedy, it's a lot smaller then the other ones I've seen and cheaper. Although it doesn't have all the features they have but, it does it's job well enough for me.

Nope it doesn't read it to you unless you've got audiobooks. Its a electronic book, but it holds 160 books. So no choosing which books to take on holiday, take them all.

I'm really starting to love my ereader. A book I lost over a month ago, I've got on my ereader and you can jump chapters so I haven't had to reread all the book that I've already read.
Anji

You can jump chapters in a paper book too :hehe:

Yeah I know what you're saying but you just press chapter 5 and it comes up, unlike books where you have to go looking for the chapters.

I was just happy because I was expecting to have to go through 400 pages before getting to where I lost the book.
