I was researching eBooks and discovered this wonderful thread about "Fantasy Authors you (and I) should never read".

http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=60758

I was shocked and then amazed at how thoughtful and passionate people were about their reading material. Like me, they love books and authors. So I decided I had to sign up and get in on the fun.

Books ... have saved the lives of many people in my life.

I have a rather long commute. I discovered that if I distracted myself with an Audiobook during my drive, I was less likely to visit harm upon clueless left-lane cell-phone users. Their lives have been saved by Terry Pratchett, Janet Evanovich and Steig Larsson.

I also love books and I have to rotate my paperback collection through the garage and storage area. When at the used book store - I have caught myself buying a book I already owned because it was simpler than trying to find the book in storage.

My hope is to convert my beloved collection of Science Fiction, Comedy, etc to electronic form and donate the Treeware to the local library or charity used book store.

Then ... I discovered Sony has one format, Kindle has another, Many books are PDF, HTML, TXT, etc. Some of the readers can handle multiple formats, others not so much. The idea of the Android-backed "Nook" gives me hope that it will be more compatible, but .. well time will tell.

Anyway - I am looking forward to discussing the hardware, software, authors, state of the publishing industry, etc. ]]> Introduce Yourself FatDog http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=62854 http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=62851&goto=newpost Sat, 21 Nov 2009 04:14:12 GMT Hello everyone, my name is Kevin.

Anyways, I'm a really big reader/technology lover. I got into eBooks a while back after finding an app for my iPhone called Stanza, which is free and quite good.

After really getting into eBooks, I bought myself a Stanza 2 and it's been great.

Thought I'd drop in everyone once and a while and say hi, maybe add something to the discussions here.

Love the site, can't wait to talk to you all. :)

I'm also an author with ebooks for sale at www.bookviewcafe.com which I obviously want to trumpet, but do not want to be annoying about it.

I am currently visiting family in the United States for a few weeks but I live full time in Madagascar. Since it is very hard to find books in English in Madagascar I plan to buy an mobile-reader while I am here and load it with material to take back to the island.

I have done some research on the internet but as you know there are many options and many questions come up.

Since I am in a very remote location the main issue really is reliability and finding a unit that is 'bomb proof", strong and simple.

I'm not really concerned with having many extras or the most up to date reader just one that has the best chance of lasting for some time.

It seems Sony readers are able to access more content oulets...

~ But would there be more problems with a touch screen than the older models?

~ Is the glare factor really that bad with the new Sony unit? Will the screen handle impact just as well?

~ With Kindle you're tied to Amzaon. We have a very slow internet connection so it will be hard to load books once I get back home.

~ Is there one unit that is able to access more 'free' or less expensive material?

Thank in advance of any and all thoughts / ideas.

Regards,

Gary L
