Smile Just ordered one!

So I took the plunge and ordered one from shopereaders.com to United Kingdom. They don't have a deal on at the moment but when I asked if they'd do it at the sale price it was no problem. $1300 CAD including postage to UK. About £650. Not bad!

In preparation, I've been getting my Calibre library under control. I read quite a few articles that I scrounge from the Internet and was using Pocket to organise them. However, the Calibre news feed only works through a loop hole in their API which they could close off at any time (although it's been several years so unlikely) and it seemed like extra hoops just to get it on to the Reader. Also, it puts all the articles into a single book which is not what I wanted.

Anyway, I found a great little Chrome extension called Clearly by Evernote that gives an even better article view (so far) than Pocket. Click the print icon and Save as PDF to a folder watched by Calibre and in to the library it goes ready for syncing with DPT-S1 (when I get it). It doesn't even require you to be an Evernote user.

Now I just have to contain my excitement for 2 weeks until the Digital Paper arrives!
