1. In what year were you born? 1969

2. What's your line of work? Litigation support: Scan, copy, & print legal documents

3. Where do you live? Oakland, California, USA

4. What do you read on your device? (fiction, newspapers, articles ect.) Mostly fiction, and many web articles converted to ebooks.

5. When do you use it? Every day. I read on the train while travelling to work, and during lunch, and often for about an hour in the evening.

6. Which E-Book Device do you own? Sony PRS-505, and some older Sony Clié PDAs; I have 3 of those with different numbers.

7. What's your verdict (quick)? I love reading ebooks on the portable reader, but they still have a ways to go before being useful business or academic tools. None of them have good annotation support at a price that makes them worthwhile for widespread use.
