Am definitely going to get one but do not really think I need 3G as will be using it at home mostly. Is it easy to connect wirelessly, presume you do not need the computer on. I have a BT Home Hub, do you just have to type in the password and away you go.

Thanks.

Yes.

Thanks Chuck

I thought long and hard about the exact terminology to use :)

I bought my wife one for her birthday last week - it is very easy to set up.

Just enter the password once and away your go!

...and if you turn off the wireless when you are not actually downloading books, the battery charge will last much longer. (Menu/Turn off wireless)

A good tip rojash thank you.

You'll love it.

I got one last Christmas, and to be honest, I fully expected it to be a gadget i'd use for a bit then assign it to the crap cupboard, but I adore it, in my household it's truly taken over books.

-- really easy and light to carry around as well. Took mine away on holiday and have used on long bus and rail journeys too.

I too, only switch the wireless on when I am downloading - makes a big difference to how long the battery charge lasts.

Is that a real book used in the advert ("Let's begin with the river ...") I hope not!
I'll never use one, but I am going to get one for my wife.
