I got a smart phone 8 months ago to replace my dead phone and my palm. I was amazed at what it was capable of doing as I only got it to be a PDA and phone. 2 months ago I got a Galaxy tab for better note taking and easier reading of my appointment book (4" screen is just too small) and discovered Zinio and Kobo that came preloaded as part of Readers hub.

I was amazed at what can be done now. I get my English magazine subscriptions the day they are released in England for less than half price (no postage!) I have access to free classics it is a new world. The tablet is going to pay for itself quite quickly.

So here I am taking my first steps into ereading on my androids. I have downloaded some free books so far and I am currently reading 'Alice in Wonderland' to my 4yo. He loves the fact that he gets his nightly story on Mum's tablet. It wouldn't be as much fun getting the same book off the shelf!

As he gets older and starts reading for himself I will probably have to get him an ereader of his own. The older 2 have ipads at their father's house that they use for reading amongst other things. Maybe I will give him the 7"galaxy tab and get one of the honeycomb ones for me...
