Hello everyone!
I'd been eyeing the Bebook for a while but didn't have the money to spend on it... that is, untill I recently received refund on my utilities payments!
I decided that I'm allowed to spend a little of it on something unnecessary but fun for myself!
But, before placing my order for a Bebook, I figured I'd best do a little research to see if something else might fit my wants and needs better and I happened upon this forum... what an awesome place and at the same time, what a horrible place! I had no idea there were so many other brands of e-readers out there and now I'm a bit overwhelmed by all of the choices
So, I think I'll put off on ordering one a little longer and dig through the posts on here first, try to decide which one fits best.
Oh, and a few words about me personally....
I'm a 33 year old Dutchie, a technical nitwit but a bookworm pure sang. I'm about to start a trainingscourse at work and I signed up for a distance learning (Open University) course in my own time aswell.
I've been thinking about buying a e-reader because I spend my weekdays at work/class/home and my weekends at my boyfriends and most of the commuting back and forth is done by motorcycle. It would be nice to be able to take pleasure-reading, course literature and handouts with me without having to pack piles of books.
So, for now, off I go to read up on all of the threads here to see what I can come up with!
sincerely,
Karen.
PS: thanks and big kuddo's to all of you who have put in time and effort to gather so much information into one place! It makes the reseach so much easier for total newbies like myself!
