As Liz Lemon would say, “I want to go to there.” Please sign me into the contest.

I feel I should win because I want it the most and lack the means to get it. I’ve always been fascinated by ebook readers, mostly because to me they mean the future. Growing up I’ve read a lot of cyberpunk novels and I’ve always been fascinated by gadgets.
When I was living with my parents I had a GBA Movie Player with a Compact Flash slot. I would get txt files from Gutenberg and load it on my pink GBA to read on the bus to school. This was a bit of a strain on my eyes because of the 2.5x1.5 inch screen. But it was still a hell of a lot better than my dear greyscale ipod. When I graduated my brothers got me a PSP, I can remember downloading the txt to image software and converting Lady Chatterly’s Lover. It was great reading on that, until around I had to stop, since there was no way I could bookmark, I had to remember what page I was on. This was a little grueling when I got to the hundreds, just pressing that right trigger to get to my page took forever.
But I still love my gadgets, I keep them in excellent condition and always use them, so I won’t be disappointed if I don’t win.

Side note: I wrote a 10 page paper about e-ink in school and I got an A on it. I also twittered this.
