Hello,
I am new here ... and new to ebook readers. I had been resisting the entire technology ... mostly because when I first heard about ereaders, like the Sony, they were very expensive, and I felt that I could purchase a LOT of books for that price.
Well ... this past weekend, after a visit to Chapters/Indigo ... I caved and purchased the Kobo. Despite also purchasing 4 new paperbacks ... I also had to go and purchase a book from Kobo ... and I'm astonished by how much I like this device!
Now I'm trying to learn about how to "borrow" books from libraries
[so far my local library doesn't have a whole lot that I want to read on ebooks ... but they DO have an impressive catalogue of audio books ... 
]
At any rate ... I have a lot to learn about this new toy of mine and hoping that I'll learn a great deal from the more seasoned members here.
Oh ... I'm in my late 50s ... married ... one son and two step-daughters and one beautiful granddaughter!
Thanks
Mary
