The Kobo Forma and Aura H20 were also good, but more expensive, no audio and heavier.

Re: Kindle recommendations wanted
Lindyloo, occasionally I do a search for 'free books', the vast majority of them are rubbish but you do get the occasional bargain. I normally spend an evening downloading any that sound interesting and read them at a later date. If you go back to them in future, they quite often become chargeable.

If you haven't got a USB charger, they're cheap enough to buy, I've just got an extra one from home bargains for under a tenner.

When I changed all the sockets in the house I invested in a couple of USB sockets. They are quite cheap now aren't they.

Re: Kindle recommendations wanted
Would be nice to filter out all the trashy ' I slept with the billionaire's butler' type books.
