Hey everyone. =]

I'm glad to be a part of the forums, and think they are a great resource for information. I like how helpful everyone is!

A little about myself, I was born and raised in Saudi Arabia, although my parents are both from Pakistan - I've only visited a handful of times, and spent 20 years in the Middle East.

About two years ago, I moved to Philadelphia, PA, for college, and I've been reading books since I was 5 years old, when my dad got me my first encyclopedia. I'm proud of the fact that I spent many hours during childhood teaching myself how to read, and that helped me so much with the English language that for as long as I can remember, my thought process has always been in English, even though it's not my first language.

I hope to learn more about ebooks at mobileread, and hope the advancements of this industry benefit society just as I'm sure it's capable of doing.

Regards,

Daanish.
