Howdy from Sydney
Gidday

Just got my Kindle (after a couple of hard days of research)

Why an EBook reader:

I have heaps of PDFs to read and got tired of carrying a heavy backpack and dog-eared pages. Plus I can carry a small library of Terry Pratchett, Bill Bryson so I can keep myself amused without breaking my back, anytime.

Look forward to catching up with other members of the Forum, adding my two cents worth (hopefully).

cheers

Neil (or Wasabihound)

Thanks very much for the warm welcome.

Great to see I am not the only Neil here (cheers Neilmarr )

Spent the last few days browsing the resources on this forum and also manybooks.com - really like that site.

As a keen Terry Pratchett fan have also been following the thread on whether to read Terry Pratchett or not - added my two cents worth.

Look forward to catching up with all of you on the forum.

(I should add I have been having a ding dong debate with a friend about the relative merits of the Kindle vs the iPad on Facebook (look for me as NeilWLee - I'm a mobileread Fan). Chalk and cheese IMO)

Just need to stay out of Amazon.com - so many books, too bad some of them are not available in Australia...yet?
