hello! Another new owner here...

let me tell you my story....(*thought bubble going into air above head*)

it all started at the beginning of 2009, when I started complaining to my boyfriend about how I love to read but not having enough room to store all my books. "Have you ever heard of ereaders? Maybe you should get one!", he said.

I instantly looked them up on the internet and was amazed at their beauty and, well, just the whole concept...however, it was not meant to be. Once converted to $A, it was ridiculously out of my price range.

Then, a few weeks ago, I decided to revisit that idea....and for some reason, the price seemed more reasonable this time round!! It was a toss up between the Sony and the Bebook, but Sony won in the end (from endless reviews I read).

I realised right before my dad was due to leave London to come home from a business trip that they sold them in the UK!! So my dad returned today and brought me my new shiny silver sony 505!

This is the first time I have seen or held a reader in real life and damn, it is absolutely stunning!! The screen is amazing!!

I already have put in an order for a borsabella case

Yay for technology!! I look forward to annoying you all with my countless newbie questions!!
