Greetings from the Great Southern Land
And thank the powers that be that you exist!

I own a sweet little black Kobo that I purchased from Angus & Robertson, here in Sydney. (I went with A&R rather than Borders because I didn't have to wait on getting a black one...shallow of me? Yarp...^_^)

It was my other half, bless him , that put me on to the Forum, and already you've managed to allay some of the concerns I've had about certain dodgy book store soft wear (and strangely, NOT the soft wear that came with the Kobo, either!)...^_^ So, for that alone, you all get cake!

Oh, I should tell you now that I am a complete technophobe, so, if you're going to use big scary words, know that I'm going to be the one sitting in the corner with a bottle of something rather yummy, rocking backwards and forwards singing nursery rhymes to myself! Yes, I am that bad.

Well, I'm bound to see you around. Fingers crossed, not too often! ~grin~

Welcome to MR, Miss Spice.

Get Ready, as I'm going to set you up with some information that you may not have discovered yet.

The MR Wiki has a page dedicated to free ebook sites.

You can follow the Hey!! Let's get some action going! What are we reading? Thread and get some great ideas about what other members have read and their comments.

MR has free ebooks that have been beautifully formatted by some very dedicated MR members. ePub format

Free ebook sites.. feedbooks.com and manybooks.net and Project Gutenberg

Free and for purchase ebooks .. smashwords.com and baen.com Plus Baen has a free library

Here are some book search engines for finding and comparing book prices.. Inkmesh, and AddAll, eBookPrice.Info.

If you are feeling ready to branch out, you can explore using Calibre to manage your library of DRM free books and Kovid, the creator, frequents the forums here. We even have a dedicated Calibre forum.

Have fun in the forums and ask if you have any questions.
