Now that e-readers are becoming more common, Australians can choose from more than the Kindle. But each device claims benefits over its rivals; how do you know which one will best suit your particular needs?

We take a look at some of the e-readers available in Australia and help take some of the legwork out of shopping around.

The battery isn't sealed in, it's just held by 2 screws. You can easily find battery replacements on eBay for the Kindle 3, and I've taken the battery out of mine, so I'm not making this up :-)

I am about to buy a new e-reader and my main requirement is one that downloads from libraries, which my previous e-reader was not able to do. Kindle is no use for this purpose so am looking at either the Barnes and Noble NOOK models r the Kobo Touch. I'd love some advice on this, especially as the Barnes and Noble support in Australia does not seem very good.

Hi Gardenezi!

The Sony PRS-T2 has library support in Australia, I'd say it's the best option for you.

I have been trying for two weeks to run the Kobo setup software for my new Kobo Touch and have given up. It crashes on my Windows 7 laptop on Step 2 without even an error message. The Kobo support person no longer answers my emails, so he's given up too. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Windows software; factory resetting the Kobo; plugging it in and running the software in different order; nothing works.
It's going back to the store tomorrow.
