Cool, Ivy! I'm sure you will adore it. I love having a whole library of books in compact form and easily portable. Did you pick out a cover yet? It's a good idea to keep your ereader protected, especially if you are going to carry it around with you in a handbag or backpack. Maybe you should look online and see if you want your boyfriend to bring you a cover too. If I were you, I would download software like the Sony Reader Library, Adobe Digital Editions and calibre to get my computer setup and get familiarized with everything. I'd probably download the User Guide from the Sony website too and glance through it. I would also start a books wishlist and download some free public domain books. That should keep your mind a little occupied while you wait impatiently for your new ereader (and your boyfriend) to arrive.
