Waiting on my Sony Reader
Came into an unexpected Amazon gift card, so decided to spring for a Sony Reader Pocket edition. (Yes, I appreciate the irony, but the Kindle would have required too much additional kick-in of cash!)
Being my first e-reader, I consciously decided to start small, in size and features. I'm looking forward to it! - Earl |

Hi Earl and welcome to MobileRead. I've had a Sony 505 for over two years and really like it. Be sure and let us know when you get your Sony.

Welcome to MR, esjones
What a great use of your gift card! You have probably noticed that this is the place for information. At the very top of the page is the link to MR's Wiki where you will find lots of information including the PRS 300. There are thousands of free ebooks on MR that have been beautifully hand formatted by some very dedicated MR members. Look up on the left, in the blue bar. The Sony uses both the LRF and ePub. Have fun exploring the forums and ask if you would like to know anything. |

Welcome to Mobileread, esjones!
Enjoy your new prs-300, it's a great device (few features, but it does well what it's supposed to do). |

Hey, just cause your reader is small (in your opinion) doesnt mean your collection has to be. Readers come and go...a lot of people on here have a few different types. Start a library like I am going to start with a lot of free and legal classics saved to your PC. 1400 here on this site alone...its the words we desire not the medium. |

You know how to make a guy feel welcome!
Thanks, everybody, for the warm welcomes! UPS tracking says I should get my Reader on Wednesday. Be prepared for a barrage of newbie-type questions!
Here is my first... does the Wiki portion of this site require its own registration and login? I tried my 'esjones' login and it says there is no such user ID. Earl |
