I'm a US Expat, presently about to start my 7th year of a long term railway engineering assignment in Seoul, South Korea. I am Puerto Rican by birth and upbringing, but educated in the US, where I lived for many years. I've been a tablet computer based ebook reader since tablets first became available, and I regulary use Mobipocket, eReader, Microsoft Reader and Adobe DE books. I use a Bookeen Cybook Gen 3, which I ordered as soon as they became available, and I love it! So I guess I will be gravitating more towards the Mobipocket world.

I have never seen a Kindle, but from what I have read, I think the Cybook Gen 3 has it beat in price, design, weight and quality. For those of us outside the US, the Kindle is not an option. I'm sure there are those who will swear by it, and for them it's fine. But I like my Cybook.

I was introduced to Mobileread by both Gottabemobile and JK On the Run, both of which I recommend to those who may not be familiar with them.

Hello to all and Good Reading.
