G'day from Oz

Taswulf · 04-10-2011, 01:03 AM

Hi everyone,
Real name is Paul, 58 year old male from Tasmania the Island State in Australia.
I've always been an avid book reader until I was diagnosed with Bi-Polar depression over 4 Years ago. I found I was unable to focus and absorb all the information a book threw at me.
I was interested in ereaders from the technological aspect and had some Christmas gift cash left over. There was an ad. in a January computer magazine for a 7" screen ereader for $99.00 and I thought it was worth an experiment as the Tasmanian State Library had just introduced an ebook service. I love it...I've read 12 books since January and have already downloaded a few classics from this sites database.
I've been married for 36 years and have two beautiful Samoyeds. Just taken early retirement and looking forward to more reading.
Hope I can contribute to this forum with a different viewpoint from Downunder.

Hi Taswulf and welcome to MobileRead.

Good to see you are making use of the wonderful resources MR provides already.

What makes you so different from all the other Downunderies in here?

I have lots of 'lations in Taswegia.
