Question advice needed for e-reader type purchase
Currently reside overseas and subscribe to the Stars and Stripes newspaper, which will never be included as part of any manufacturer's content. I want a large screen, light weight, and preferably touch screen device that will either wirelessly download the paper directly (it's in Adobe) or let me transfer the download from my PC via USB. Is there such a thing out there?

Yes, as its adobe PDF
The Sony Reader http://www.sony.co.uk/hub/reader-ebook will do that and allow you to transfer - Infact - I use a SD card and copy the files onto that on the laptop SD card reader which is intergrated and then just plug that into the Sony
No other connectivity - wireless etc on the Sony - nor touch screen
of course theres the New iPAd which is supposed to be just for that
wireless , bluetooth and 3g - expected in 60 -90 days in the US I think maybe internationally

Then the kindle
http://www.amazon.com/Kindle-Amazons.../dp/B000FI73MA
Never used or seen but big in the US
and recenlty I think launched in UK

Wink e-reader advice
etaf- many, many thanks. The Sony will work just fine. Just want to see if I can find something similar with a larger screen. You were a big help.- Krawen
