Well, I got the message by e-mail today:

I bought my Sony PRS-505 on eBay, because that was the only way for me to have one shipped to Canada without paying ridiculous custom fees. I would have loved to buy it from Sony directly, but they won't ship it to Canada. I wanted to benefit from the Sony 100 classics offer, and I bought my reader on Jan. 8. Well, it's coming slowly... I thought I'd save on shipping costs, but I NEVER imagined it would take me past Jan. 31st!

Oh well. You never know, it could arrive in the next three days (yeah right).

So, well, euh, hello, here I am. I'm Isabelle, I've been reading you guys for a while, been converting ebooks all over the place (can't use BookDesigner, though, it keeps crashing on me). I'm happy to join. I never knew there were other people like me, fascinated by technology AND books.

Thanks for being here!
