Hello everybody !

I am also an owner of an iRiver Story since a month ago. And I am glad I found you here.

I got the decision of buying the Story relatively quick even it was a real pleasure to spend a month of comparing, thinking and surfing web at nights.

My criteria is very simple: I really need a full physical QWERTY keyboard because for me is a must to take notes while reading. And a virtual digital keyboard is obviously not the same thing.
And the only model to fulfil my conditions is the iRiver Story. (I excluded from the start promo-ereaders like Kindle and Nook with weird formats which are made on the promotional purpose of selling the huge amount of e-books owned by the producers. I wanted a real ereader, with all the formats, to fully work with the computer).
After one month I think it's maybe the best investment I did in my life. It really changed my life. It works great!
Beside the Note Taker (Memo) it has a diary (very useful for my busy schedule) and a Voice Recorder (useful for my podcasts and voice messages on my blogs).
In my country this ereader it's a lot of money for an average income so for me it is a long time investment. I have 2 years warranty and even the battery life will shorten like MacEachaidh device

I will search for a replacement with a new battery, maybe not a chinese one, I will search for a top-brand battery producer.

I already downloaded over 1000 titles from the Internet and from friends for free, without paying a dime.

I also started a long-term campaign of scanning my "paper" book library (I have over 3000 titles of all categories in my home library) and I'll put all of them on my blog for free for the masses.

Thats for the beginning, thank you !
