A POLL!!!!!!

VOTE for Cybook and iPhone!!! Just kidding

I use my Cybook for reading when I´m at home or when I travel by train.

I use the iPhone
- in the bus
- in the car when I´m caught up in a traffic jam - yes, I know, I shouldn´t, it might be too dangerous
- in the supermarket while queuing
- in boring meetings (pretending to check Emails. This can be quite dangerous, too, especially when the meeting´s mod suddenly aks you "What´s your opionion?" and you´re about to say "The butler did it!")

You should add "Symbian Phone or Blackberry" - those are also Mobipocket platforms.

I would put those under "iphone/pda"

They may be mobipocket, but they aren't dedicated bookreaders...

I have these things that are made of a carbon-based storage system that I read on, but are not listed. Could you ask one of the moderators to add them? They're called just "books..."

I voted for the Sony 505 (cuz I asked Zelda) and for "They haven't made the one I want" because the Sony doesn't fulfill my desire to read any and all ebooks that are available on one device without going through conversion gyrations. I'm still waiting for a decent tablet or slate device with a screen that's large enough to read everything comfortably, runs on Windows or some OS that lets me use any and all reader software, isn't too heavy, and has a decent battery life.

desertgrandma, I'm new here. I thought you could only vote for one device. I voted for the PRS505 but I also use my PSP and bookR. If you are keeping any off the record counts, please add 1 to PSP.

Thanks, kenmark
