Let me also add my welcome. Before I bought my first electronic reader, I kept wondering if I should wait until something better came out in the next few years. But, I realized that if I did so, I'd give up 12-24 months use of a reader while waiting. So, I decided to buy what I considered had the most features that were valuable to me. After receiving my Kindle last February, I fell in love with the whole concept of eBooks and eBook readers and by August I also owned a Sony PRS-505. If I didn't think my hubby would jump up and down, I'd add a Cybook and maybe one or two more devices to my inventory.
I know that these devices can be expensive, but I chose to consider the value to me of being able to carry many books in a small device. And don't overlook the ability to buy books online and not wait for the mailman to bring them to my house So -- although none of the devices currently on the market is exactly what I want, I've at least had the pleasure of using these devices while I continue to watch the marketplace for what's coming next.
I wish you luck in deciding which device is the best fit for you. Browse through the wiki to find information on device characteristics and availability. Ask questions in the forum. And while you're doing that, have some fun here at MobileRead. We're glad you've joined us.
