    Plus it has a crappy browser.

      I am quite up on my gadgets and I have actually chosen to use the Kindle. I can get any book for free on binary news groups so its like having a massive free library at my finger tips. If I like the book I will usually buy it to support the author, as I am not a pirate.

        I think you'll find you are still a pirate.

          No I am not, I buy the book if I like it, I am doing the same as someone who goes to a bookshop and has a read through the book or borrows it from the library first. What does HTH mean?

              Tonight I hid a Marcos Pizza under my jumper and snook past the security guards at Lidl. I'm about to cook it and if I like it, I'll pay for it. Does that make me a thief?

                Shoplifting in Lidl's? Just how poor are you, pal?

                Getting back on topic, I have a Datawind Ubisurfer which comes with Mobipocket. I'd suggest you don't go down that route. Also the book selection is very poor.

                    Perhaps he doesn't need to, because he is thinking in terms of the difference between Right and Wrong, not the written orders of the lawmakers.

                    HTH. Mate.

                      In some cases, you have a point. But arguing "I should be able to take a product and only pay if I like it"... that's totally subjective and since the law is clear, there's no debate. If your client says after the first week, "sorry we think you're not what we want" then are they still supposed to pay you?
