Christmas shopping
It's that time! While some of us are buying ourselves Ferrari's, I have to be more restrained, lol. Sorry Serge, I do like that colour btw, sweet.
Colleen is an avid reader. She is quite interested in the e book route..does anyone know anything about these devises? What one should look for / features etc. The Sony 6" Reader Touch Edition (PRS650RC) looks promising, I honestly know nothing about what to look for .

I have a Sony reader. The only thing I would recommend is to make sure that the books and authors that she reads are available on Sony's Reader Library Store. That being said, I do like the Sony Reader Touch and would recommend it. Its a better reading device than the Ipad especially for outdoors and at the beach.
I do think Amazon's Whispernet system for browsing and delivery on their Kindle device is probably better than Sony's however. Look into both and see what you think.

Does she also use internet or email? If so, the iPad is an excellent choice. I have one and love it.

Hi TommyC, yeah, she uses her Macbook and email on more than one device...I was thinking the ebooks were limited to the novels themselves, it appears they are internet browser capable etc too?
