I really love how I can take out the SC card pop it into my desktop and add books in the matter of minutes. There's no eye strain whatsoever! After reading ebooks on my desktop and netbook for years. I can't believe the difference. So far I am loving having a E-Reader and believe I chose the perfect one for me.

Thanks on the advantages of using the EPUB format. I went ahead and experimented a little with them last weekend. I've put a few EPUBs on the PP to compare it to the MOBI format.

I really like MOBI and how it remembers the exact paragraph I am on. EPUB goes back to the page number it seems which when in zoom mode can be several pages back. Is there a work around this? I like that EPUB seems to remember what Zoom I am in. It seems sometimes page numbers overlaps the text when zoomed in. A minor annoyance that MOBI doesn't have.

The Times font is darker when Zoomed in with a EPUB book which makes up for lack of not being able to use your own font like you can in MOBI. The zoom in MOBI could be better but I really have no complaints about that format other then the Zoom.

EPUB could be a tad better then I might switch over cause I like how more readable the font is compare to MOBI even if there's just one font you can view with.

Thanks for making a great product!

A new firmware upgrade shoul;d be posted by tomorrow and that will improve the .LIT and FB2 formats.
