I've become addicted to technology, especially ebooks and ebook reading devices!
Does that make me a "technogeek" or do you have to understand all of the programming and such behind the technology to qualify?

There isn't a visit to MobileRead that doesn't give me a giggle and a smile!

No, you don't have to understand the programming. We professional programmers don't understand it a lot of the time either!

I like the technical help, and the news on topics like DRM is interesting. I'm sure I never thought much about DRM until I joined mobileread. Now I'm ready to become an activist.

Where else can I hear endless theft/not-theft debates about copyright infringement? Also, my friends are tired of hearing me rant about page sizes of PDFs.

That's not a toilet.

It's a really big porcelain goblet.

More fun than a conversation in a bar.

That's high praise coming from me considering the bar conversations I used to get into.

Also because no one else I know has an ebook reader, and everone looks at me like I'm nuts when I start talking about it.

The looks are priceless. "Why on earth would you waste you money that way?" "But.....its not a real book!"

'Sigh. A closed mind is an awful thing....

And besides.........I'm lonely.

I stop in for the company and the obsession. My obsession. My obsession with company and ereaders.

But Iʻm a really bad participant lately. Somehow that darn thing we call "life" (aka job, kids, kidsʻ activities, spouse, cooking meals, making the kids clean the house, books, research classes, ds, wii, kids again) gets in the way.
