I wish there where more titles available however i'll take what i can get right now and still buy real books when i can't find the ebook version. So yes readers aren't perfect but they solve a massive problem for me and make the pleasure of reading more accessible plus i'm not waiting for deliveries of books  |
Hey Sparky,
Welcome and just wait--you'll be putting aside pbooks to read ebooks soon enough! Resistance is futile!
You might want to poke around in the Ebooks section of this site and find some great free classics all ready for your reader.
