By the time I have got my hands on Cassiopeia it was hopelessly obsolete, and about the only thing you could do with it was reading books. Which is why I got it so cheap.

The reason to begin with reading e-books (first at CRT monitor, later on obsolete notebooks) was that books in English are difficult to get and expensive in my corner of the world. I simply ran out of paper reading material in English.
