What Format are most of your books??

All books have been converted to rocket format. Some were converted from .lit and html. Maybe 300 to 400 in this format. Another few hundred in pure .rb format but all can be redownloaded in mobipocket from Baen's website.

I like the ease of purchase and pricing on the Kindle, but most of my reading will be done in the bed on my side and the design does not look friendly to one handed reading. My apologies to the kindleites but it is also Fugly. That really doesn't matter to me but they could have done better.

I lean more towards the sony for a better screen and conversion ease but can someone tell me can you hold that in your left hand and not have to use your right hand to effect a page turn.

I have to decide tonight and order or wait another month. Thanks for your help everyone.
