I've been voraciously reading the forums here since I got my new nook a week or so ago. I had no idea that buying an ereader would change my life in any significant way, I just liked the idea of being able to buy more books without making more room on my library bookshelves. Discovering this forum has allowed me to find free resources and has inspired me to upgrade to a real OS. Seriously, it's your fault that I discovered Calibre and now run a
stable operating system - Ubuntu Linux - like a big girl.
I thank you, my husband thanks you (who knew running a Linux box was hawt?) and now I suppose I shall venture out and participate in the recommendations fora.
