I've actually been lurking since Sep 2006, so it's past time I said hi.
I'm from Singapore, and my e-reader history is a bit chequered: I bought a Librie way back when, used it, loved it...then managed to
sit on it by accident last year and broke it.
Then I bought an iPod Touch 2G, installed Stanza on it, used it, loved it...and still do, but I now sport reading glasses and so needed a bigger screen.
So I bought an ECO Reader last night (even though it's more expensive locally than the sexier iRiver Story), and am now trying to get Tirwal's latest firmware on it. Wish me luck.
