**** Sony E Reader ****
I really enjoy reading but somehow my suitcase always ends up really heavy so when i saw that my local Waterstones had some in stock i decided to purchase one.At 199 quid its not cheap but i felt i could easily spend that on buying the books alone.
**What is it?**
Basically it is an electronic device that you can store books on.The memory size you get with it holds up to 160 books but there is also slots for you to add extra memory if needed,not that you would need it.
**Pros**
One of the best things about this is that you do not have to carry loads of books around with you.
Books are cheaper on the ereader than they are to buy normally and when you buy the ereader from Waterstones it comes with 100 classic books so if you are like me and would read these anyway the ereader pays for itself.

Advantages: Good ventilation Disadvantages: No warning siren for when I leave it on the train
I needed a new bicycle helmet and here is the foolish reason why. I commute to work by train and bike and put my bike in the onboard cycle store so I can ride it at both ends of my journey. I reach my destination on a cold Monday morning and go to collect the bike from the store. I notice my head is cold but that's because I had a mad half hour on Sunday and shaved all my hair off........nope, I've left my helmet on the train and its now pulling out of the station. What makes this worse is that it's not the first time I've done this (lost the lemet, not shaved the hair)!
So, off I go in search of a new helmet and I find the reasonably priced Bell Avanti. This is a unisex cycle helmet that is grey all over with a few varying shades to make it look nice. There is a black detachable sun visor which comes in very handy, especially ...
Advantages: Beautifully clear screen, great operating system Disadvantages: Irritating screen refresh, no highlighting option
I was bought my ebook reader as a birthday present, and initially I wasn't all that impressed (although i didnt tell my girlfriend that) It appeared to be nothing more than a slow PDA without much of the functionality.
I was pleasantly surprised to find I was wrong, it is a fantastic little tool, with a crisp clear display, and basically, it does exactly what it says on the tin, it lets you read pretty much anything you want (provided waterstones has it) for a low price, it plays music, it has an internal flash memory drive, it has memory expansion slots,
and it uses no power to maintain its display so conscequentially the battery lasts forever, I've read 3-4 novels on mine with no need for a recharge.
It does however have a slightly annoying screen refresh (the whole screen goes dark for a split second on every turn of the page ...
