Smile Checking in to say hello from Colorado
Hi everyone,

I just found this website the other day and decided to join. I'm very interested in purchasing an ebook reader in the next couple of months but I haven't made up my mind as to which model. Currently I have the Kindle app on my Blackberry as well as mobireader, I need something with a bigger screen size. On my PC besides the Kindle app I have Calibre Ebook management software which is pretty cool.

Looking forward to learning a lot from you guys.

Thanks

Steve

Thanks for the welcome and pointing out the wiki with the matrix should be a good starting point

Welcome as well.
Where you get your ebooks and whether you want to go through the drming process has the greatest impact on which reader may be for you.

While the Amazon bookstore has one of the best ebook selections, the Kindle does not play well with the Overdrive subscription service that the U.S. Public libraries use unless you use some tweeking and/or drm removal processes. Sony and several other ereaders do. On the other hand, if you purchase most of your ebooks, it couldn't be easier than on a Kindle.

cheers

Thanks everyone,

I've only played with a Sony reader over a year ago, seemed to be slow when turning pages but I was in a store and wasn't able to really check it out. I have a friend with a Kindle and he loves the heck out of it. All of the ebooks I've purchased to date have not had any DRM, primarily they are all technical books not works of fiction but that could later ;-)
