1. In what year were you born?
1968

2. What's your line of work?
Sales (outsourcing, offshoring)

3. Where do you live?
Germany, Bavaria, Augsburg (close to Munich)

4. What do you read on your device? (fiction, newspapers, articles ect.)
fiction, self-help and development

5. When do you use it?
In the evening, at night and when traveling (plane, train)

6. Which E-Book Device do you own?
Kindle 2, Kindle DX, Sony 505, Sony 700, BeBook, iRex iLiad, iRex 1000S, Cybook Gen 3 and have ordered Cybook Opus 3 days ago.

7. What's your verdict (quick)?
I've started reading ebooks on PDAs in 2000. I very much enjoy, having 100s or even 1000s of books permanently with me. I love dictionary support, usually reading in foreign language. eInk in my opinion already is close to perfection. I hate the DRM situation, very much would prefer a single standard format, supported by all devices.
From a business perspective, obviously Amazon and Sony rule, because of selling devices PLUS content, whereas the other suppliers simply lack revenue opportunities and loose ground because of that.
