• When buying/searching for eBooks do you search by format or by eReader?
  Format. I've no idea what formats every reader can read. I only know what I can read...
  
• Do you know what format/s your eReader can read when searching or do you expect all eBooks to be read by your eReader?
  Naturally, I expect all ebooks to be read by my ereader, but I also am dissapointed a lot I do know what formats I can handle and will try to buy only those formats. When a book is not in that format, I will only buy it if I can convert it to the format I need.
  
• Before you bought your eReader did you know about software to convert a format to your eReaders format? If you didn't would you have liked to have been informed by the retailer?
  No, but I don't think there actually was any software back then... Ebooks were still fairly new 6 or 7 years ago... (and mostly in TXT format too)
  
• Before you became a member of this forum and bought your eReader did you know anyhting about eBooks/eReaders?
  Yes, I have been ereading much longer than I've been part of this nuthouse. I decided to join because I felt at home
  
• What reasons made you chose your eReader? Was it format or device based?
  My first reader was a Franklin eBookman. I bought it because I wanted a mobile device for reading books. And I had heard about that one. I then moved on to a PDA, which was second-hand, from my mother. And I loved reading from a colour screen and so I bought my current PDA 5 years ago (improved screen, transflective and VGA). Ever since the ebookman, I've been reading mobipocket books. And I could install Mobipocket Reader on my PDA's as well, so I kept to the format. And when I finally decided upon an e-ink device (this summer), I wanted one that read Mobipocket books. So, it's mostly format that decided my readers after the first one. The first was was purely device based.
