Smile Hello from Wales

Hi
I'm Margaret and I'm from Wales, UK. Having first seen e-readers about 3 years ago, and thinking "wow -cool gadget" couldn't justify the expense, particularly when I love spending times in bookshops and buying books.

But having decided that I own far too many books (I know, you can never have too many books, but if you are going to have to move to a smaller house you can) I have eventually splashed out and ordered a Sony touch PRS 600. It's not in my grubby little hands yet, but I can't wait to get it. I've boxed up 35 books that I've read and am unlikely to read again, and am hoping to sell them at a car boot sale so I can put the money towards e-books.

Anyway
it's a pleasure to make your acquaintence and I'm sure I'll see you around and about the place.

Mags

PS - I forgot to mention I like reading

Hi Margaret and welcome to MobileRead. If you 'like' reading, you're not like us; we're addicted. And, if you're not already, you soon will be hanging out here.

Hello and welcome, Georgiegirl. Enjoy the forums. Is a car boot sale the same thing as a yard sale or garage sale here in the US?

Hi - thanks to all for your welcome, and yes you may call me Mags.

A car boot sale is a similar kind of thing except you put your saleable items in the car, drive to a field, where numerous other people have done the same thing, pay a small entry fee (which usually goes to charity) and then the public have a variety of stuff to choose from.

Good to have your company, Mags. And you'll soon have a neat wee gizmo in your hands that might well change your reading habits for the better and forever. Have patience in the early days, though, and do come here for advice. Check the Sony forums, too. Iechyd da. Neil

I don't mind what you call me, just talk to me, please talk to me. But if I'm reading I might ignore you, just don't take it personally - I kinda get absorbed into my own little world (well the author's to be exact but I'm sure you know what I mean)

And I've ordered a pinky/purpley (girly) cover for my gadget, so I can be a girly gadget geek.
