Anyone got advice on buying one of these?
My friend is developing arthritis or similar in his hands and wrists so he can't hold a book for more than 5 minutes. He's tried book stands but he gets irritated with them and not all books fit properly. He'd like a Sony PRS-500 as his 30th birthday gift but they don't sell them in the UK, and even if you import it, the store only works for the US 😕 I know there's a rights issue over the screen in the UK but surely the store could be international...
My friend said the Iliad Reader is in excess of £400 which is double the cost of the Sony model :thumbsdown: I also don't know where he'd get the books from with that?
Are there any other models or alternatives he should consider?
