I'm sorry but this is really turning into nonsense & clique-kish.
I started reading ebooks on my pc 3 months before I got I got my Sony. I had to wait to get it at a price I was willing to pay. I was doing my research and posting here before I had it.
So long as these writers post their announcements in the proper forum which I studiously ignore whether they have an ereader or not is not important.
If they post in a wrong thread, the mods should send them a PM telling them where to post it correctly.
I think we are starting down a slippery slope if we start making all these arbitrary rules about one MUST have and ereader to participate etc.
