Welcome. Welcome, indeed.

I own a Kindle which I bought in February and also a Sony PRS 505 which I bought this summer. Interestingly, when reading on the Kindle, I tend to use the left-hand buttons almost exclusively -- and I'm a right-handed person. I think that may be, however, because I'm often reading while eating and the fork is in my right hand.

When I first got the Kindle, the keyboard seemed superfluous, but now I find myself adding notes to books all the time. I really miss the "highlight" and notes capability when I'm reading on the Sony Reader.

At this moment, I am well into:

The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch on the Sony Reader
The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett on the Kindle
Earth Has No Sorrow by Michelle Blake in a Mass Market Paperback
High Noon by Nora Roberts on unabridged CD

I do love to read and have so many books both in paper and in electronic edition, that I should be able to entertain myself for a very long time.

Make yourself at home. Poke around on the forums and get to know the regulars -- and tell us more about yourself, particularly the books you are reading, favorite authors, etc.
