**** 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: 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,

Advantages: Four Wheel Drive Disadvantages: No visibility through rear window.
We bought our Vitara from the local Suzuki dealer a few weeks ago.Its now been used on long and short journeys,round town and on the open road.
The engine is 1600cc.It has a 5 speed manual gearbox driven through the rear wheels with the option of 4 wheel drive for icy/snowy conditions.
Dont be fooled into thinking that this is a car for the serious off roader...its not.But it will get you out of a muddy field or down an icy road.
The interior of the car is basic.There is no sunroof,no electric windows,no air con and no c.d player.Though it does have central locking and an immobiliser fitted as standard.
Ours is the 3 door "estate" .Its only called an estate for insurance purposes (which is group 9 ),you only have to open the rear door to see that ! With the rear seats in use you would be hard pushed to get more than two ...
