I'm in!

Now, as for venues, I am more than willing for anyone to suggest. I have had some good luck in the past with the What a Bagel at Yonge and Eglinton for things like this. It is roughly in the middle of the subway line (in a city like ours, not everyone is a driver; I think a subway-accessible venue is a must for things like this!) and it has a nice mix of real food for those so inclined and tiny cheap treats for those on a budget.

Ya, that looks reasonable/doable!

But as I said, this is just a starting point and if someone else would like to propose a venue, please do not feel inhibited that I have already suggested one.

When this was talked about before, people seemed to think 'summer' was a good range to work with. If any tourists who plan to visit Toronto for one of our many festivals respond, we can try and arrange it so the meet-up happens then.

Looks like the most popular day (for other meet-ups done around the world): Saturday; most popular time: 11:00AM until....

* BRING YOUR DEVICE if you have one. more than one is encouraged !

More than one? Hmm, do I trust them to behave themselves together?

OK, where's my luggage... Let's see.... packing REB1200 (colour 8" touchscreen LCD), REB1100 (B&W 5.5"), EBW1150, ... and some odd non-ebook acquisitions!

* Planning to come ? reply in the thread, and mention which device you will bring.*

I of course will come, with my Sony Reader and iPod Touch. I can bring my Alphasmart Dana if people want to see it (it comes with a special version of Palm Reader pre-installed which is optimized for the wide screen) but I don't read on that device, myself.

So? We in? Who's coming?

Yep, I'm in, ... T.O. ...
