Hi Cassidym
Received it late last week - they just sent it in the mail for anybody to steal, no signature or anything! Anyway, charged up fine, updated firmware and put a few books from here on it. It's a beautiful looking little thing, so I hope it works out.

Currently selecting the best font from the suggestions given in response to my other thread. Looks like small but thick font with lots of white space around is easier on the eye for us oldies, but I'll try a few.

My initial reaction is "gosh, is that all I can get on a page?", but since turning the page is so easy it may not matter. I suspect we have to adopt different criteria with ebook readers as I'd never buy a paper book with not much on the page. Something like 24 lines with the font I'm trying just now. There's a font with reduced line spacing posted that I'll try too.

It's a culture shock, but I'll keep you posted.
