Hello from Oregon

Hi all,

I'm a lifelong reader - apart from traditional paper books, I've been reading on mobile devices since the days of the Casio Zoomer, Newton Messagepad, and Palm Pilot. I was an early adopter of e-ink, starting with a Sony PRS-505, which I have been using for the past 10+ years (and it still looks/works like new!). Just got my first Kindle device (Oasis 2) a couple of days ago, since my aging eyes can no longer cope with the small typeface on the Sony.

My ebook library long ago grew past the point of my ability to read it all in my lifetime - but that doesn't stop me from continuing to add to it. I'm sure most of you here know what I mean.

Genres that interest me are wide ranging, though I lean more toward non-fiction than fiction these days. When I was younger, it was just the opposite. Occasionally, I have rather bizarre (to me) cravings for stuff I don't normally read, so I'd say my tastes are... unpredictable.

It used to be that I had to fit my reading time in between the chores of the day. Now, with "early retirement", I fit the chores of the day in between my reading sessions. Life is good!

-Jim
