I salute you!
I first got to know of Mobileread this Christmas, as I was looking for an e-Reader to get as a Christmas gift and I found the Super-Matrix. While I didn't actually receive any devices, the craving has got stronger, and I recently discovered the power of eBay to... give me other things that are not Readers. However, I intend to buy one very soon, and I've seen that here's a quite collection of interesting and kind-hearted people, so I have decided to lurk around for a while.
On personal background, I'm a Spanish student who aspires to stay in Berlin, Germany, and make a living there. I'll be hanging around the German forum, mainly due to my need of re-learning German... |

Where you're located is pretty important, Logseman, when it comes to choosing a device and understanding its potential geographical limitations if a reader is tied to specific stores. Do take sound advice here before taking the plunge. Good to have you company. Good luck and best wishes. Neil

Welcome to MobileRead, Logseman.
Whichever device you eventually get.........you'll soon wonder why you waited so long. |

Welcome to MR!!!
Even without a reader you can still download a lot of free high quality ebooks from this site. I wish I would have started working on my epub collection months prior to getting my PRS-600. |

Hi Logseman and welcome to MobileRead. I lived in Berlin (Templehof area) back in the 70's LONG before eBook readers were even thought of.

As far as I had heard, it was going to be turned into a public park, for whose design they'll need time, and probably a designer contest as to see what is to be done with it, but they're using it temporarily for different installments.

Thanks for the update - really should make an effort to keep reading about it. But alas, Berlin is so far away.
