One of Anne McCaffery's dragon books - don't remember which one - one one of the Palms - also don't remember which. That is MANY years/devices/books ago!

I believe it was "The Other Queen" by Philippa Gregory which came as free download with my Sony PRS-505. Received the 505 as a Christmas gift in 2008 and from then on I was hooked on eBooks!
Don't recall reading any fiction on computers or any other handheld device before that. |

Wow, that was a long time ago. I think it was around 2001 - had a Sony CLIE T615 - back then, I could only get Sci Fi books - I think it might have been Lord of the Rings. Things sure have changed.

I first starting exploring the concept of ebooks when I got my ipad in 2010. The first book I read on it was Apples edition of Winnie the Pooh, and since then, many books are enjoyed cozily tucked up in bed

Starting in 1979, various technical manuals printed on a Model 43 Teleprinter.
Staring in 1981, various technical manuals on various computer screens. My first "real" ebook was A Princess of Mars, by Edgar Rice Burroughs in 1993. It was on a CD-ROM of PD works. I read it on an Amiga 2000, using a text editor. My first ebook on an ereader was A Trace of Memory, by Keith Laumer -- included in Baen's edition The Legions of Space. I read it in 2010 when I got my JetBook Lite. At the time I believe it was in their free library, and I jumped at the chance to re-read one of my favorites from high school. |

Oh, now someone mentioned a child's book, which makes me realize that the first book I actually read when I got my iPad was Peter Rabbit. I had forgotten about that.

Wow, what a great question! I think it was A TALE OF TWO CITIES and I read it on a Palm Pilot around 2000? I started reading even more, though, when I got one of the first compact smartphones, the Kyocera 6035. That thing was amazing for the time and I used it constantly. My first purchases were from Fictionwise, as I recall.

I haven't a clue, but that's a good question. It wasn't even that long ago that I started reading ebooks since I got my kindle last year, but I can't remember the first ebook I read. But it was on my Kindle. That much I know
