Hi Joyce,

Alexander Turcic is the founder of MobileRead in Oct 2002, a forum that started off being almost exclusively about mobile devices, and how to get text files onto them. The URL name of MobileRead was first used in May 2004. Across the past few years the focus has shifted away from cell phones and pdas to eBooks/etext/eBook readers. Everyone here is a volunteer, and most of them are here for the same reason... a Google search on something eBook Reader related had lots of results from the forums here. Once we started reading eventually there was a post we wanted to respond to... bam! another addict.

So you could say it's a truly international place with swiss origin and proprietorship
. Mind you: We will never know how many users from which countries there are because many choose not to show in their profiles or consider it utterly unnecessary to loose words about it.
But maybe the frappr map should be replaced by something else which takes off a bit better ...
All the best from the shore of the Baltic Sea (and Northern Germany)!
