My first dedicated e-Reader was the Sony PRS-505. Man, I loved that little machine.

I never heard of the technology before the Kindle 1 came out. I actually first heard of digital readers when the news did a piece on the K1. And then I started googling and finally stumbled on MR, which is when I discovered that other devices existed.

I've since gone through (3) PRS-505's, (1) PRS-700, a Kindle2, a nook, and now my iPad.

I've got a bit of a gadget fetish. What's my favorite though? I'm torn between my 700 and the nook. I still love the K2, but I hate that keyboard.
