Our granddaughter is a voracious reader, so we got her sony for Christmas. Tried to get her books on Christmas and the server had crashed, so we will get her some in a couple of weeks when she comes back. Glad to hear it is as good as we thought it was.

This is a really good forum for eBook readers. There are separate forums for each of the vendors. Plus, they have a nice collection of eBooks that people have uploaded and are available for free. Between this site and the Google domain, the majority of my books were free.
Have fun!
