Hello..

I've been looking at ebook readers for a while. I just wanted something simple (I don't need wireless; I just want to read books!), something I can adjust the font size for my old(ish) eyes, and something reasonably priced. Settled on the Ebookwise 1150, and I've been extremely happy with it so far!

I used my eBookwise for 3 years before I bought the Sony 500. And I only bought the Sony because it had a great deal - $50 with a new Sony/Chase credit card!

Of course once I had the Sony, I gave in and bought the 505 when I saw how much better the screen was. A friend at work and I got ours at the same time (both the eBookwise and the Sony). While I have pretty much switched to using the Sony all the time, she still uses her eBookwise most of the time.

And when I took them both (and a Cybook that I was sorry I bought within 2 days of using it) to work to show off as a demo for another co-worker interested in ebook readers, another co-worker chose to buy herself an eBookwise, too, even after seeing the eInk screens.

It's a great machine!

Congratulations on your new purchase! And welcome to mobilereads.

Welcome to the forum, dblack. A lot of people like the EB1150. If you aren't bothered by the weight it is a lovely little device. Do check out our ebook section, where there are a fair number of books in IMP format.

Welcome! You will find plenty to read here (click blue bar e-books above). Also lots of help with anything that you could possibly need with the EB-1150.

I love mine. Not as in "I enjoy using my device." It's an actual emotional attachment.
