Hello from Dublin, Ireland
Hello,
started reading ebooks on Gutenberg & Archive.org back in 2001, which I read on a pc. In 2005 I bought a Cowon A2 (a mp3/pmp player similar to Archos) and discovered it made a grand ebook reader. Fell away from the whole ebook thing until recently when I discovered www.manybooks.net and have begun greedly devouring ebooks I have recently bought an old PDA... a Dell Axim x50 on which I installed PocketXpdf v0.5, which I obviosuly read in landscape mode to make the most of it. I find the whole ebook format thing very confusing so sticking with *.pdf until I figure it out The two other sites I get my books from are: 1). www.smashwords.com 2). www.feedbooks.com Currently reading Metropolis by Thea Von Harbou. |

Hi Jaquian, nice meeting you and welcome to MobileRead. I started off reading from my computer screen as well, but I am much happier reading e-books off my e-ink screen. Not that I'm trying to get you to drink the kool-aid, mind you
