I've recently got one and it's great. Books are cheap and you can easily put PDFs on which has come in quite useful.
Thank you for that information Andrew.......now if we could only solve the dilemma of me buying and recycling books to the charities, we would be cooking with gas
I do sometimes buy new books(not very often).....and I do get gifts of books.......and that would need to be overcome too.
I have thought about one of these gadgets, purely for when I travel with Ma....but these days that isn't happeneng very much either.......so I guess I will wait.
