Hello

Cyra · 05-07-2009, 06:33 AM

Hi, I am from Australia. I have been using a hp tablet/notebook as an ebook reader but found that it got way too hot and was suffering from terrible eye strain, so I decided to find out a bit about ebook readers.

I decided on a Hanlin V3 because I have many books in various formats so it seemed the most practical choice. I ordered it yesterday from DA direct.

Welcome

I hope you love your new ereader!

Cyra · 05-08-2009, 07:23 PM

Thanks for the warm welcome. I am in Western Australia so unfortunately the meetup is a bit far for me to travel.
I can't wait for my new ereader to get here, I am so excited!

zelda_pinwheel · 05-10-2009, 02:53 PM

that's normal.

some of us have been known to check the tracking status every 5 minutes, and in between go outside to check if they see the postman coming (just in case). or, er, so i hear...

(so is it there yet ??

)

Hi Cyra and welcome to Mobileread! The sweet anticipation... waiting for your new reader.

I promise your HanLin will be delivered before the weekend

Hey, its only about a 4 hour flight each way for you to come to our meetup!

Cyra · 05-15-2009, 01:21 AM

Still waiting... looks as though it might be Monday before I get it.
Patience is a virtue!

cbell · 05-15-2009, 02:43 AM

Oh, sorry! It was held up a little by that extra thing I did for you and I forgot to allow for that in the travel time.

I'll email you the tracking number on Monday, so you can trace it (but hopefully it will arrive before you get the chance!)

Cyra · 05-15-2009, 03:20 AM

That's ok, these things take time.
