My first PC was a purple Acer Aspire. It was big and slow by todays standards but I was able to view CDs of Public Domain books and CDroms of comic books. This was over 15 years ago. Several PCs later I got my first iMac around 2003 and really started using it to read. I also got into fan fiction (Farscape ended in 2003 and fan fiction kept it alive for me). The first iphone in early 2007 was when I started reading digital books on-the-go. The first Kindle was late 2007 for $400, and yes, I got one. I also got the Kindle 2 and 3 and Fire. In 2010 I got the first iPad and it was used for all my magazines and comics. Today I don't leave home without my iPad3 and iPhone.
