Hey, hey! Good news. First on the tax refund and second on the permission to get something you really want. In my job, I get a small bonus at the end of every quarter. My hubby let me use part of the 1q2008 bonus to buy my Sony PRS-505. Since I already had a Kindle (bought out of the 4q2007 bonus dollars), I considered this a very generous concession. He did ask why I needed yet another reader!

You're in for a real treat, Stacey. I love the convenience of having choices at hand. When you leave the house with only one paperback book in your bag, you're confined to reading that or nothing. And sometimes, I'm just not in the mood for vampires and ghouls raging through the streets of Atlanta. With one of my readers, if the current book isn't appealing to me, I can just switch to another. (It does help that I was already in the practice of reading several books in parallel.)

You can also read the Sony-formatted books using Calibre.

Oh, by the way, welcome to MobileRead. We're glad you've joined us.
