Mrs MacGadget does it again!

Yup, Mrs MacGadget strikes again - with the VAT increase due to hit in January 2011, she decided to outfox the government and purchase a Sony eReader.  Not only did the she get a great gadget, but she is getting all her VAT back courtesy of Sony.

So, what is an eReader?  Well, it's like an iPod for books - you download ebooks in various formats and store them on the Reader.  The eReader is about the size of a slim paperback, and displays the text (and pictures) on a clear, non-reflective screen.  The beauty of using the eReader is that you can change the size of the text and it bookmarks the last page you were reading.  It also does fancy stuff like having embedded dictionaries in different languages - if you come across a word you don't understand, you can tap on the word and the dictionary pops up with the definition. 

Of the two models available, Bev chose the one with the larger, touch screen and the expandable memory.

Bev has added lots of her favourite books to her eReader, along with a PDF copy of the latest Prince2 manual to help her study for her exam.  So, if you see someone with their head buried in an eReader, you know it will be Bev!  All we ask is that she add Winnie the Pooh stories for us to read.
