Post Wow! a jump of 5 years!

Thanks for the welcome messages. It's been a jump of 5 years since the last post of mine!
I've not stopped e-reading, but I've upgraded to an HTCX7500 Advantage, and lots of little laptops! a 7", 9" dell mini, 10" dell mini, 12" dell inspiron and on up!
I read on all of them and mostly use eReader and if pressed- MSreader (those are free). Also found Calibre that lets me convert other reader formats to a favorite. I find that the 10" mini is my favorite mobile laptop, and that goes with me - as well as the Advantage.
I like my ability to be reading and then check something on the web that I just read about, so I haven't gotten hooked on the new readers - I'm not sure I like to loose my color VGA. Anyone have a new favorite like the Kindle? My daughter and husband both have switched to a Kindle but I'm not really interested in starting a new bookshelf format. My eReader bookshelf is 50 pages (on FictionWise)- so that is a lot to not be able to access!
It must run in the family- my 2yr old grandson has his own iPad (carefully monitored) and usually has an iPhone at hand too - it has certainly been great for teaching tool!
