think its the unzipping bit that ruggering things up at mo.:o

If you double-click the zipped file does it automatically run an unzipping program? Think there is an unzipping program which comes as part of the Windows operating system (assuming you're on a PC). If not, you might have to download an unzipping freeware program. There's lots out there, but Stuffit Expander is as good as any

It asks for an email address, but you can just make up an email address if you want

When you buy/download an ebook you can do so in multiple formats. The most common are epub (used by a LOT of readers) and kindle (used by Amazon exclusively)

Just to clarify a little, the two main ebook formats are
EPUB - Nook, Sony eReader, Kobo
MOBI - Kindle, and can also be read on a lot of the earlier PDA devices with Mobipocket software (I've got a couple of PDAs, dirt-cheap off ebay, for reading ebooks with mobipocket.)

The reason I said kindle was that they USED to use mobi, but have switched to azw format for books downloaded from Amazon. The Kindle will read either.

Anyone know of any stock? Just tried to buy one for a relative from John Lewis and they have gone OOS again.

Thanks. Ended up buying from Blackwell's. Had been put off Currys by some of the earlier posts.

My Nook from Very is on it's way at last. :j

BTW, are they still in fashion?
Hope they honour the £15 after all this hassle.

I need to read up now (an idiots guide) on getting those free books. lol

Hi
Just received one I bought for my daughters birthday.
I've taken it out and charged it so I can load it up (play with it! ) for her.

Can someone tell me very time I turn a page or press anything it kind of blips or slightly flashes to move onto the next page. It's really annoying.
Is that normal?

Thanks
