Hi DiesOutHere and let me add my welcome to all the previous ones !
my reading tastes also change depending on what is going on in my life. good luck with your divorce ; please don't hesitate to come and spend some time relaxing in the lounge with us to change your ideas. you might also be interested in the " vent and rant" thread it's very cathartic, and you can complain about whatever is bugging you all you want : that's what it's for.
since you say you're using a mac, i recommend you take a look at calibre ; it's a free library management and conversion tool (and rss aggregator) developped by one of our brilliant members, Kovid Goyal. it works on a mac ! and for the sony, i recommend getting epub books. it's the new industry standard format and hopefully in the near future it will finally topple the tower of e-babel made of all the incompatible formats. it will also work on your iphone using stanza, so you might already be using it. if in the future you do get a kindle, drm-free epub books can be trivially converted to mobipocket format using calibre (or the desktop mobi app, but that doesn't work on a mac, alas), which you can read on the kindle.
take a look around, download some of our wonderful free ebooks, don't hesitate to ask questions. enjoy the site and your new sony !

Hmph!
Welcome to the madness, DiesOutHere. Great place and good, if somewhat fickle friends.
