Hello all

1st post, new to the forum.

Hello, welcome! What types of books do you read, and are you finding them on Sony's ebook store site?

Thanks for the welcomes.

I have to admit that while I really like the Sony Reader I'm less than impressed with Sony's Ebook Store. The selection, at least for me, is a bit limited.

I read a lot of non-fiction related to history & world religions. I read some fiction but not much.

I'm hoping that they begin to add more to the offering.

Pester them. Where'd you buy the Reader? If the answer is "Borders", then pester them, too. Join the Rewards program and then when they email you coupons that specifically exclude e-books, complain.

Half the joy of this crazy stuff is getting worked up about formats, DRM, pricing, content, et al.

Didja get a look at the tons of history and non-fiction to download here for free? The forum is great, but the really great part is the library.
