I do see what you mean about the screen size, Sarah! And now it makes sense that you could use your EE as a substitute laptop for a while.

However, there's a lot to be said for the PE's portability. I took it shopping the other day and read my book while waiting for the coffee to grind, and standing in line when I had checked everything off my list on the tablet side. And for waiting rooms and making notes at a doctor's office it rocks -- which the EE would not!

Reading and researching (and I imagine writing) on the EE is a joy!! I'm so glad I finally have one!

Registered with enTourage and Adobe. Got the welcome email from enTourage -- newsletter! forum! (haha). Upgraded from Badger to Ermine directly, no problem. Ran into trouble when I forgot there was a physical switch for wifi and that I had turned it off.

So far my only problem (besides that things look different, which surprises me), is that the browser crashes (as reported by North19 and Obsessed, among others). No big deal for me. Hibernation working smoothly so far.

I gave my Sony PRS-900 to my Dad today for Father's Day. The screen seems small, slow, and dim compared to my EE but it will be a good intro to ereading for my Dad. Amazing to think the Sony cost me more new than the EE did.

Thank you all for letting me share my excitement!
