Greetings from Texas

Hello All,

My name is Martha and just got a Sony Pocket Reader which I

for the e-ink and amazing portability. I debated back and forth over this or the Kindle which also looks amazing but the size and of course the ability to borrow library books won me over. To add to my new e-reader obsession, I am also getting a Nook Color. I honestly thought this was going to be the only reader for me but I really don't want to read for hours++ on a backlit screen. But I just could not help but be in awe of it's benefits as a color reader with an android OS too

Anyway I am a mom to two handsome fellas and a wife to my handsome husband. Looking forward to contributing, debating and growing with this community of fellow readers.

Hi Martha, congrats on the new Sony Pocket and the upcoming Nook Color. Welcome to MR.

Thank you Kenneth. I see you chose the optimal route for ereading **sigh**...That would have been so ideal: Kindle and Ipad. Alas I chose the most budget friendly. Granted I really do favor portability.

Well, not sure how "optimal" -- more a matter of family needs and timing, really, but thank you.

Good to have your company, Martha. Sony's a sound choice. You'll find your reader and free Calibre Library software (http://www.calibre-ebook.com) a marriage made in heaven. Very best wishes. Neil

Welcome. I used to live in Dallas - it's good to hear a Texas accent.
