But you have INDEED come to the right place!!

I come from the same background -- Palm unit (varying versions) for 10 years, and now I've switched to a Kindle.
Enjoy the site, and ask questions when you need to. We try to be very helpful.
P.S. "Mobipocket" format books will work on the Kindle. See the "e-books" section of this forum. Lots of (older) books you can download and read.
