Whow, thank you all for such a welcome. To be honest: I got this BeBook now for about 2 weeks and did read less than ever. Finding books, trying out formats, fiddling around with CaLibre - special the news. That's a great functionality. And last but not least yesterday I booted openinkpot and with ssh explored my reader. Once a nerd ...

What's on my reader (and SD's) now: well as I wrote calibre-news (have to find out how to get my favorite sites), some howto's I always wanted to read, a lot of (english, that's what is most easy to get) books: the complete -Lovecraft, -Asimov, -old russian masters, -Huxley, -Orwell ... ... And a lot of philosophy. I guess I over did somewhat - never mind it's almost vacation & travel time. Oh some piano music sheets also. Thats it.

There is one thing I miss and thats the smell of a book when it's new. Oh and another thing I only got 8 favorites in my BeBook reader - far to less untill I really start reading, I hope.
Guess whats a ptty - I mostly travel by car. I realized the negative about that when I just loaded my reader.

Thx again, and nice to read you all.
