Hello everyone!

I'm a voracious reader with a strong interest in mobile reading, and also in the business associated with it.

I'm currently a business school student. I'm 22 and I live with my fiancée.

I also have a Twitter and a blog.

Welcome to the forum! I hear tell there is a Paris meeting coming up. I wish I could go, I love Paris :(

I'm a words game nutcase, mixing all languages to babel, compounding meanings, rythms and mostly sounds.

The maxim "Les jeux de mots sont la fiente de l'esprit." roughly translated to "Word games are the lowest form of humor." fit me to a tee. Not brilliant but it ticks the time a way for a lonely mind.:o

"Le calembour est la fiente de l'esprit qui vole" : Victor Hugo; who didn't hesitate with puns himself...
And I love stupid translingusitic jokes like "If you see what I mean... de crayon" (OK not the best, I know but I love that kind :rofl: )

oui, elle m'épate tout le temps avec son sens d'à propos !! des fois je me demande si elle passe ses nuits à chercher des calembours qu'elle pourra ressortir plus tard. :D elle en a à foison.

Welcome to the Forum!! What kind of reader are you getting??I don't know yet! I want to get a Kindle but they're US-only right?

I don't know yet! I want to get a Kindle but they're US-only right?

officially, you can only get a kindle in the US, and you can only buy books from amazon with a US credit card. but some people have found ways around that (buy a kindle on ebay, open a new amazon account, don't register any credit card, and use gift cards only to buy books).

however, i would strongly recommend you get a device which supports the epub format, which is the new industry standard format, and is being widely adopted particularly in europe. kindle uses a modified, proprietary version of the mobipocket format, and no direct support for epub has been announced (or is likely). but, sony readers already support it, bookeen has announced support for it soon, i believe the bebook already supports it... you can take a look in our e-ink reader matrix (http://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/E-book_Reader_Matrix) to compare some different devices. if you want the kindle for the note-taking abilities, the sony 700 can do that via a software keyboard (touchscreen) (i have a 700 and i use the notes feature all the time, it works really well). and there will be some really interesting new devices available very soon.

what are the specific features which interest you ?
