cbell, thank you for that link! I really appreciate all the info.
Hong, thank you also. The jinke site is interesting. I'm in the process of trying to figure out which eReader would best suit my needs - or more specifically my location. I'm definitely headed towards buying one very soon; if I was in the US I'd have had one ages ago. I just think they are awesome and an eReader is at the top of my wishlist right now. My problem, apart from location, is that, despite being very enthusiastic about and open to new technologies and hardware, I'm rather dim when it comes to software and downloads, so the simpler the process from choosing a book to reading it, the better. That's a lot of the appeal of the Kindle (or it would be if I were in the US
). I'm intimidated by having to put something through a re-formatting process to make it readable: I just want to download a book file, plug/bluetooth/whatever to the eReader and go.
Anyway, I'm so glad I found this website and its forum: I'm really happy to have discovered a community of eReader enthusiasts and from what I've seen, people here are very helpful, encouraging and generous with advice and support.
