I've seen other people post on MobileRead that they put on hold anything that might look OK. I wonder if this is the reason my library allows only 6 holds - I have to be choosy. I use the wishlist for the anything-I-might-be-interested-in-someday books.

Mine also has a history list.

But it's a time-honored MobileRead tradition that when any new bookstore, ereader, or anything to do with ebooks is announced we have to have a multi-page thread of speculation!
