I'll say welcome to the world of eBooks Cathy.
No matter what the Dissenters say

many of us got started reading eBooks on out computers (Desktops or Laptops) and went from there.
I First got started on a Laptop and quickly supplemented it with a PDA and later a PDA Phone for greater mobility.
Much Later I got into the world of eInk with the Sony PRS-500 and then the Cybook.
So Strap yourself in and hang on for the ride. One you go down the eBook Rabbit hole you cant go back
