That and I've always envied the Kindle's dictionary and little features like the vocabulary builder and Goodreads integration.
My new reader comes tomorrow so I'm just wondering if there's anything I should be aware of. I've heard a lot of hate regarding collections and I'm not much of a collections person but is there anyway I can make it (through Calibre) so that all the books in a series are together and in order? I already have them assigned series tags in Calibre.
Secondly almost all (with exception of the odd $1.99 deal that comes from Amazon) of my books will be EPUBs. I guess converting into the Amazon format shouldn't be a problem. Will I miss out on anything if I'm using converted EPUBs? I heard that the new Bookerly font doesn't work for side-loaded books. Is that true? I'm not a fonts or margins crusader so I don't expect to be disappointed but I'd like to take part in enjoying any new fonts if I can.
I guess that's all my concerns for now. Looking forward to tomorrow!
Now that is surprising.. !!!! I remember our discussions on the Kobo sub-forum well....

Do not expect too much of the Goodreads integration, but you will love (or at least I think you will) the dictionaries and the Vocabulary builder. I love them on my Voyage.

This year I did not go for the Glo HD, nor will I go for the PW3, just staying put with my H20 (which I do not use much nowadays) and my Voyage, which I still love and use.

I'll be interested to read your first impressions.
