On my old Sony w300, I had the choice of reading on-line, adding to my library for later reading, or downloading and reading offline. Maybe if I disconnected, it would keep going. I must try that.

Well first of all, with vampires age is always a relative thing, something I had to keep reminding myself when reading the works of Anne Rice
Given what the stated purpose of Wattpad is Eileen, I am sure that any book you see there is a download-away and you have it forever offline if you like (and there are a raft of Android ebook readers, two of which I know is Aikido and FBReader. The former is just by a friends recommendation, the latter I have used for a long time on a variety of platforms). Wattpad looks interesting but I will need to play with it some before I sold on it. There are just so many readers, networking/aggregation sites/tools out there it is hard to pick one as a favorite.
All of that said, I just had an idea: after making sure I was offline (read: no wifi and I don't have a data plan) I plugged my X10 into the PC and mounted the storage card. I looked for the data file for Dracula, by Bran Stoker (the book I was using as a test case with Wattpad) and looked high and low for it. It was not to be found. My hope was that I would either find a partial instance of the book or a complete copy of it. If offline reading was not a feature currently in play, I expected the find the former; if things *were* automatically downloaded for offline reading I would have expected the latter. Since neither seems to be the case I will keep looking because even without something to find, it does seem to be storing a non-trivial amount of the book *somewhere*.
