None of this tied-to-Amazon stuff.
just because you do, doesn't mean you should.
Yes, but you don't live in Thanet. Even the charity shops are struggling.
I'd say vanilla Kindle or a cheap decent tablet (e.g. Galaxy, Nexus)
The kindle fire is locked down too much I hear
I still like buying books, ebooks are mostly stupidly expensive still, when they are half the price of a real book I will change my tune
@chillidoggy get to a school fete in the first 10 minutes, it's amazing what you can get, and at the end they almost throw what's left at you
But if I were buying brand new I would get the paperwhite.
From what I've read above, I would need to use the calibre software or similar if I wanted to get non amazon books?
I'm not overly keen on being tied into amazon (or any other shop) as the only source...
(unless they do something like the did with CD and gave free access to mp3 versions so I could instantly transfer my book collection).
