Yeah, that big one on top that says "Why not make your first post today by saying hello to our community in our Introductions forum?"... well
fine.
I just recently ordered (and when I say recently, I mean like 10 minutes ago online from B&H) the PRS 505. This little device caught my eye when I stumbled on it while browsing Wikipedia. I read like crazy, but I hate lugging around a truckload of books everywhere I go, so this seemed like the sensible solution. I'm quite the tech geek (CS degree), so this is right up my ally.
I would like to thank the people who made this forum possible, because if it weren't here, I'm not sure would I have bought the thing or not... It's pretty expensive (+ shipping + local tax), and I was weighing the pros and cons... this site helped me to see all the pros
, like libprs500, Project Gutenberg and ManyBooks.net. I was worried about e-book availability and ease-of-conversion for PDF's and the sort, but this site helped clear my doubts. It also helped me find a store that ships to Europe and doesn't charge you an arm and a leg for shipping.
When I get the device, I'm sure I'll become a more active member instead of just a lurker.
