Hello from WA
Just wanted to introduce myself.

I started reading ebooks with the iPhone kindle/iPhone B&N readers and loved it. Then a good friend gave me a real Kindle for christmas! I find I read many more books in ebook format then paper versions. I have gone from using my iPhone to using Android and now end up using Aldiko to read them. That means I have to pull the DRM off to read them on that device when the Kindle is at home or the wife is using it.

It would be nice to find something to remove the DRM on pdb's so I can move books bought on B&N as well as Amazon between my readers.

Happy Reading!

Jeff, Issaquah WA

Welcome:

Nice to have another Washingtonian join Mobileread. Looks like you're finding your way around the various posts and forums nicely. Have you checked out the Washington public libraries? Many of them have nice ebook collections for loan.

cheers
