Hello people ... just joined, and herewith my first post!
My darling wife surprised me with a Sony PRS-350 for Xmas; since then I have completely fallen in love with the whole e-reader "Thing." I have hardly put it down since its first charge.
The idea of being able to carry around several thousand books wherever I may roam is utterly delicious. I spent twenty-two years in the Royal Navy (Although I have now been out for eleven years, which should give you some idea of my age ahem ...) and I wish these things had been available then! I have many memories of always having to restrict the number of books I took with me on a deployment - then once I had read what I brought, which unfortunately never took that long, having to rely on a decidedly ropey ship's library or swap books.
It's an iPod for books, really, isn't it! Which is another thread entirely ... since I am even more obsessed with music than I am with reading. Not Of This Forum, though
I do have a question, though I will be A Good Boy and post it in the correct forum ... give me a few minutes and then head over to the Calibre bit.
Looking forward to getting to know more about the wonderful world of digital reading!
