Cheers, I gathered you can read them, what I wasn't sure about was getting my own data on to one, rather then via the e-readers proprietary store ?

Reading on an LCD simply doesn't compare to e-ink.
e-ink is incredibly easy on the eyes, especially with the improved contrast of newer models. A battery life that's good for a few thousand pages between charges is also great.
Ipads are also huge and weigh 3+ times as much as an e-reader.
The vast majority of e-readers will allow you to put your own files on with no restrictions (other than the formats they support). They can be quite flexible too, some can even read cbz/cbr files and most have 'reflow' options for PDFs to optimise the text size for the resolution.

I've decided to get one of the new Kindle's (the 3g enabled one), never used an e-reader before but i think i will like it.
The UK kindle store is now up on the co.uk site and you can download the Kindle app for PC and other devices there now too (iphone, android etc). The price's seem reasonable only had a quick glance but the popular paperbacks are as low as you can expect for example Under the Dome is ?2.88, Girl Who Played with Fire ?2.70. Obviuosly the free book collection is there too (although you can just get stuff from Project Gutenberg in .mobi format).
