Hi from beautiful BC Canada
Hi everyone, I'm a new sony ereader owner. I just picked up a prs-300. I've been reading ebooks for years, downloading them to my palm pilot from binary newsgroups. Ah, the good old days. Back then you needed patience and a willingness to read books that had pages of gibberish as a result of poor formating but it was okay since it was all volunteer work. I just converted one of the old books I downloaded years ago and put it on my reader with absolutely no problems. I also just bought a book and loaded it, also with no problems. The refresh rate is a little annoying but it's a small problem compared with the multitude of benfits that this reader is providing me. Technology will continue to improve and that won't always be an issue. Anyhow, happy to be on board here and I look forward to learning more about my reader and contributing where I can.

Welcome tomato!

I wish I could visit Vancouver and see the Lions play outdoors this year. Maybe if I'm lucky!

High five for Beautiful BC!

You may already know about this, but just in case you don't, you may want to check out BC Library to Go. Nearly any library card from a BC library will allow you to use this online eBook library service. You can check it out here:

http://downloads.bclibrary.ca

Sadly though nearly all the books are PDF format which is rough to read on most eBook devices.

Welcome aboard!
