As for "do much reading", I agree. I want to be as safe as possible doing this, so alot of reading it is and alot of taking notes as I do it as well
Mtime7 - This is the press that my buddy suggested to me Lee Press
Is there a difference between that one and this one Lee Classic that you suggested?

Yes. The Lee Classic is cast iron and the other is aluminum. They work the same and the aluminum probably works just fine.
The classic is a little heavier duty and probably a better press.
It does not come as a "kit" as the other one does. In the kit you get a Lee Scale which is accurate but a real pain to use. I suggest a better scale. RCBS or the Dillon beam balance. It is the most important tool in reloading. The Lee
Pro Auto disc is also better. So piece it together for a few more bucks and you will be happier.
I also suggest if you are buying a set up, look at at Natchez as their prices are usually lower than Midway.
I use the Classic Press and very happy with it.
Lee Classic 4 Hole Turret Press - MidwayUSA
Lee Classic Turret Press - Natchez Shooters Supplies
The Natchez web site is a bit tough to navigate. Look up what you want on Midway, get the manufacture number in this case 90064, go to Natchez and type in Lee before any Lee product number(Lee90064) in the search and bingo.
Here is a very good review of the press:
