I just bought my first eink ebook reader, a Kobo Touch. I'm delighted to find this forum that will, hopefully, give me some help when needed and to which I can contribute in the future.
A feature of the Kobo Touch that I was delighted to find and didn't expect was the built-in dictionary and translator. There are probably other features that will be revealed to me as I explore the device. The Kobo Touch joins a family of devices that serve different purposes but none of them serve well as a pure reader. The family of devices I have includes a MacBook Pro, an iPod Touch and an iPad.
I will probably begin first collecting books from the Gutenberg collection and then branch out to my other areas of interest such as the history of science. I will be adding a bit of fiction as well.
