My name is Shae. I live in the Dallas Metroplex. I am 36. I have been married for almost 18 years and we have 5 kiddos ages 16 to 8.

My wonderful Husband purchased the Sony Reader 505 for me as a Christmas gift. It is in the bestest color there is BLUE I have 2 bursting at the seams bookshelves and books literally littering my house and so he was an easy target for this gadget. I have already downloaded more than 140 books, and read more than 15 books since I put my first book on it December 28th. All of them free. I have made a deal with myself to read 50 books for free before purchasing one to make up for the cost of purchasing the reader. After that all purchased books are free game to me as I used to pay about $20 a week on buying books.

I have many questions, and have actually had many answered by scoping this forum out since I first started my search for a ereader in November. WHile I love my SOny, I secretly covet mobipocket books and want a device that will allow me to read those books, as then I could get books from my library for free. But convincing hubby that the one expensive item he bought me is not good enough and that I might need another one is never going happen, even if it meant more freebies.

I am glad I am here. I do not talk much, I am more of a "reader" and enjoy browsing. every now and then I may jump in.
