Has anyone got one? Has anyone got any other electronic reader and what are your experiences?
Kind regards

Been an Sony e-reader user for 14 months now and never read so much for years (I never lose my place in a book, I never lose a page and it is light enough to carry with me everywhere I go). Battery life is about 6 weeks. My partner, who loves the physicality of books, now has one because she has an eyesight defect and has reluctantly admitted that the facility to increase font size at the touch of a button is a real boon on the e-reader.
The biggest down-side is the limited selection of books - much improved over the last 14 months but I still find my choice restricted to about 1 in 3 of the books I have on my list at any given time. This can be even more frustrating when I discover the book is available electronically in the USA (from a British publisher) but sale restricted to the USA and no corresponding UK release.

Wait a few days for the hype to build up for the next Jobs song and dance act and see if the iPad, iSlate or iWhatever as described in this months Mac World mag is formally announced
I've been expecting this. I agree there's no point buying anything until we see what Apple bring to the table - they're very good at getting the user interface right.
