Hi folks

First post here from a long-time lurker.

FWIW I use a Mac and all my eBooks have been bought from Mobipocket (it's a good site with a decent range of current titles) and they transfer to my Palm without a hitch. True, Mobi's desktop Reader software is PC-only, but that doesn't stop you buying or downloading books from them - there are clear instructions on how to do this on Mobi's website - when you can access it, of course, lol

And if I can add a huge thank you to members and admins of this site - I've spent the last few months reading and digesting the threads on this forum, and very helpful it has been.

Cheers,

Peter
