Hi folks. I don't know if I am on the right forum. I am looking at e books. I have looked at a number of comparison sites and I am not yet any the wiser. Could someone suggest a suitable one. I would like one that reads files that I get from archive.org, also text and pdf. I am not bothered about mp3, wifi or anything like that. Expandable memory is a must. I would appreciate some direction in this.
Thanks
Thanks

The best way is to go and try one if possible. If you want.to be able to annotate the text then one with a keyboard, expandable memory is not always necessary, e.g. I have a Sony 505 that has 192mb of internal memory enough for nearly 200 novels, most these days have 1-2Gb I can't see you needing more unless you want to carry your entire library with you?
E-ink is a MUST lcd screens eat batteries and are harder to use long term, (mine lasts for about 3-4 weeks on a charge used for 3-4hours a day)
Screen size up to you but I find the 6" to be good, easy to handle and about the same size as a paperback book page.

Thanks Hairy biker for your response. The Sony looks a good option. Just a couple of questions
What is the max size of sd card that it takes?
What file format would you suggest that I use from archive.org?
Thanks

Mine will take 16Gb HDSD cards. Not sure above that.
I recommend epub for compatibility, easily convert to something else if needed. I also recommend Calibre to manage the reader and the library of books.
