I've been considering getting an eReader for years but have been overwhelmed by the choices. Then last week I got a letter from my credit card company that my reward points were expiring soon and I must use or lose them. I went out to the reward point site and found a Sony eReader. They didn't say which one it was, but I decided to go ahead and order it anyway. It arrived yesterday and it is the PRS650, which is a new model that gets good reviews. How cool is that?

The printed instructions directed me to plug it into my PC and get a file from it to find out what to do next. The file wasn't there. Fortunately, the internet has lots of information. I downloaded Calibre, installed it, downloaded some free books from Baen, and last night I read my first book. Fantastic!

Looking forward to compiling my new digital library. I'm going to try not to buy any more paper books - my house has too many already.

Also, this is going to be great for motorcycle touring. Less size and weight than even one book, and it'll have hundreds in it!
