I've been lurking here for a bit off and on for the last few months. Now that they have added a Jetbook forum I decided it was time to join the rest of you.

I'm 56, from Fargo ND, (yes that was a HECK of a lot of water this spring)
Retired, married, and a life long book addict.

I've been a Jetbook owner for about 6 months now, and I'll never go back.

I'm pretty computer savvy, and have pretty well explored what I can and can't do with a jetbook. If anyone needs a hand with one, or getting sorted out with converter, sites, etc feel free to drop me a line.

Hi GhostHawk and welcome to MobileRead! What is the color of your jetBook?

Hello GhostHawk. I don't own a jetBook,

but I just wanted to say Welcome aboard" (from a fellow lurker who's finally coming out of her shell)

Kris I've got a black one, had it for about 6 months now, and I love the heck out of it.

Been reading a few horror story's about people dropping them and breaking the screen. OUCH While I've dropped mine a couple times its always been on carpet.

Personally I love the wide variety of formats that it will read. Although the vast majority of my reading is done in .rtf or .doc.

I tend to convert all my .pdf's to text files as its just easier to read without having to scroll the screen each page. I do have a couple of basic converters, amber lit for lit to doc/rtf, HTML to text, and zilla pdf to text.

Although I'm looking for a better *.lit batch converter.
