Hi
I've had a Sony PRS-300 for about 8 months now and rarely read paper books anymore. I read about 3 books a week, including a lot of 19th and early 20th century titles. I got the reader because I was tired of paying high prices for out-of-print books or (even worse) crappy OCRed copies of such. Now I've got tons of free books I've been looking for. I've only bought a few titles--some older mystery/horror titles from Ramble House, which sells PDFs for a resonable $5 a shot.

welcome check out the author's forums here. A lot of us agree concerning the high price of books and set our prices at $2.99 or less.

Hi bitemeok! Are you pleased you bought the Sony rather than any other reader?

Hi Lexi,
I'm pretty happy with the Sony. It could be a bit faster, but I really like the fact that I can read a book with one hand (the 300 is small enough that I can hold it at the base and "turn" pages with my thumb). This comes in very handy when multi-tasking (e.g., when feeding my daughter her dinner).
