Hello everyone! Long-time lurker here. I'm
always on this site lurking and reading, because I learn many things here. I figured I should introduce myself properly before I go and create trouble in the discussions.
I have to credit this site for giving me the push toward using eBooks. I started out earlier this year with a Palm m500 bought for $20 on eBay, then I got an eBookwise, which I think is a great device for the price. Then, just a few days ago, I went to Target and got myself a Sony PRS-505. Woot!
I have to say that the Sony is a beautiful, sleek piece of gadget. Not perfect, but hey. I was this close to getting a Kindle, primarily for the annotation and dictionary features which are very desirable to me. But I knew myself well enough to know that even with those extra features, I probably won't toss a Kindle into my bag and haul it around, especially while travelling. Even without those features, I have no buyer's remorse with the Sony. I'm eagerly waiting for October 2.
I'd like to give a shout-out to Calibre and its developer. It has been really, really useful. Sony's library software sucks.
Take care everyone!
