Hi Bob, Welcome to Mobileread. I'm sure you'll find things you'd like to add to our library.

I think you might be surprised at how nice it is reading at home on something bigger than a pocket-sized LCD. I read for several years on a Sony Clié, and I found my CyBook Gen 3 and now my Kindle to be much nicer.

Of course, the current eInk readers are a bit more fragile than I'd like - waiting for more robust screens isn't a bad strategy.

Anyhow, if I can find the time, I will hopefully find something useful to contribute, although from what I have seen so far you have everything I have done to date!!
