you can buy an inexpencive mpeg player. you can buy online on in the shops for about £20-30 depending on how many mb size you need. They usually come with headphones & sometimes with a radio built in.

I am interested in the idea of having all my books in one place - the Reader - and enjoying a clutter free house. However, its rather expensive to buy if it turns out to be one of those gadgets that the 'idea' of it is better than it actually is. I am a full time Uni student so the cost would have a large impact, but are the ebooks cheaper than actual books? Are reference books included in the ebook choice? Also as a mother I would be interested to know if children's books also sold on ebook form?
If you mean Sony eReader, we have to wait a few more days. The launch date is the end of the week. Looks good on paper. Will know more when I get mine. See Waterstones book shops.

I have a Dell Axim PDA running MS Reader. There are other Ebook apps for Palm OS's too.
You gotta run a google search for "Ebook reader" or something similar.
Good luck!

There Are Officially Too Damn Many Ebook Readers Gawker
, And the people who spend like $50 on a no-name ebook reader that supports a lot of formats, who gets every book they can think of as a pirated copy over BitTorrent. Everyone else—both the buyers of tier-two ebook readers and the makers of them—are going to be screwed.
You know we have an ambivalent attitude about the big-name ebook readers. The Kindle is the best ebook reader you can buy right now, if you're in the market, but it's still hampered by a slow e-ink black-and-white display—not to mention a heavy reliance on Amazon's own book sales operation, which bothers some people. We respect what Jeff Bezos and Amazon have done to teach the world about digital book reading, and we understand why Barnes & Noble has to get in this game in order to plan for the future—or simply survive.
But the introduction of e-ink-based readers by many big tech companies and a handful of feisty little ones threatens to sow confusion in the market place, encourage piracy, and screw over any company who gets in and then can't really hack it against Kindle and Nook. And all of it will be a pointless exercise when long-lasting slates are a reality.
