Hello,

I'm new to the forum and had my first eReader only a Month or so. It was a good way for me to get back into reading. I recently have become more high tech with a new Macbook and also netbook (for work) and my first new iPod in 6 years 9the old finally died. I went with the PRS-300 as it took most every format. I now have a little over 150 books that I have gotten from friends and other sources. I have been impressed and can't figure why its reviews are not as good as others (I'm sure its because its not wireless). I still get excited when I see the Nook at the local Barnes & Noble. I think I still want one, but not sure why. It seems there are lots of folks on here that have more than one. I can't imagine using the netbook for reading A book... Not ideal for me. I use it for email on a VPN for work and that's about it. I also bought the leatherette cover from Sony that has the light on it. I'm on my second one as the 2 way intensity switch went bad in 2 weeks. We'll see about the replacement from target (I just exchanged them). Any advice you can offer to get me more in depth to the ereader world would be great. Thanks for having me! Looking forward to it!
