Hi, explainit!

I was in your fair city as a visitor and you guys are just the nicest people, even when the ferry tour guide was raggin' on us for making you convert to the metric system.

Enjoy your new PRS505, pull up a virtual bar-stool, and join in the fun!

A Toronto Meet-Up! I'm game...

Perhaps shighfield would be too! We are in opposite ends of the City; He's from the East-end; I'm from the North-west near Vaughan-Mills Mall.

Know anyone else here from the GTA?

Great to hear!

We'll wait for a few more members to see these threads and chime in and then we will discuss WHERE & WHEN.

Maybe a Poll at the end to help to decide among the top choices...

Criteria for a meeting place should be:
- accessible by public transit
- sufficient parking available
- wifi hotspot (optional?)
- good eats / better drinks
- large table/booth for display of ebook hardware
- some familiarity with the establishment i.e. recommended
- what else

Nick, that all sounds great. I see that some of you are from further north. I have no car, so for me the TTC accessibility is really important. Once we get a better sense of numbers, I can suggest a few venues. I welcome others to jump in with venues they know.

Welcome to the forums..I have only had my 505 a little over a month, but I love it AND I love this forum! I still have way too many paperback books and continue to buy them, but I'm hoping in time I'll start gradually converting to ALL ebooks.

Enjoy your 505!

Have you heard of the Toronto meet-up yet?.

p.s. sorry if you saw this message already; just going for the widest exposure...

Welcome to MobileRead!

I have a Sony 700 and love it and I can't agree more, I never want to buy a "real" book again, either!! Don't hesitate to ask questions and be sure to check out the Sony forums before you call the company. Many of us have posted problems we have had and the solutions we found for them.

Enjoy!
