It was always my dream to read digitally. Before I knew about e-readers I was reading PDFs on an old Sony Ericsson PDA phone in the mid 2000s. Back then it wasn’t about saving storage space it was about having the ability to carry lots of books with me at any given time. I’d heard of the original kindle but that wasn’t available in the UK. So I got my first iPhone in 2009 (iPhone 3G) and that was when I first really got into reading e-books. So I read a number of books on my tiny iPhone screen. A couple of months later I learned of the existence of the Sony e-readers so I bought a PRS-300. That was when my transition to ebooks was completed. Once I got the PRS-300 at the end of 2009 I became a ebook only reader. The following year the kindle keyboard launched in the UK and pre-ordered that. I’ve been using a kindle and reading ebooks ever since.
