1. In what year were you born?
1961

2. What's your line of work?
Engineer

3. Where do you live?
Athens, Greece

4. What do you read on your device? (fiction, newspapers, articles ect.)
Mostly fiction and news feeds.

5. When do you use it?
Amost every day, mostly at home.

6. Which E-Book Device do you own?
Sony PRS-505, Blackberry Bold

7. What's your verdict (quick)?
I'm a newcomer (1 month). My first impressions is that it's still is an expensive gadget, far from being perfect, but better than I thought when I decided to buy an ereading device.
Pros are obvious (lightweight, huge choice with you all the time, instant buying, eink display is quite good...).
Cons: Technology is still immature (too many freezes on several devices), reading experience not bad but still not as good as on paperbooks, very difficult to have access to content adapted to ereaders (not pdf files) for europeans, even in english language.
