I have gotten so much help here - I absolutely love my kindle, and that is due to the patience of MobileRead members answering my questions. Because MobileRead draws people who read

The dog's smart enough to know when I'm joking.
That puts him way ahead of the curve. And he can't usurp me. He's under 2' tall. |

I love the acceptance for all kinds of ebook reading devices, all kinds of formats. Yeah, we get into big "X will be the ultimate everybody format someday" discussions, but there's no (well, little) disparagement of people who choose other formats... if you prefer .rb, there's support for making them & people will help you find resources for your reader. I love the endless copyright/piracy debates. And the endless typography debates. I like recurring topics that get revisted every time a new bit of software comes out, or every time a new legal ruling comes down. I like that people are willing to repeat their views a thousand times to newcomers who haven't spent the last ten years figuring out how ebooks worked. I like that even people who intensely disagree on a lot of issues can agree on other aspects of ebooks; that we don't get "cliques" as much as "overlapping factions." The ePub fanatics don't all agree on downloading; the torrent users don't all agree that typography is pointless; the Kindle users don't all agree about DRM. |

I came here because I needed help, and I stay because I've learned so much from everybody here that I'm able to help others. Though I'm still getting help for myself, since I always seem to find a way to get myself into trouble with my reader

I'm not as active as I had been (a job with heavy overtime, and a decision to standardize all my ebooks into epub format will do that to you.) but...
What other community lets itself, shucks, encourages itself to be self lampooned! Harv and Vera, Hugo and Lefty, Red and the gang, Rock Lobster, Adrian's Bar... Amateur? You betcha! But everybody has fun with it. And that's what makes this a must be place, because we live, and laugh, and love. (Me and my liseuse are just good friends....) |

I came here because I heard that it was an international community of e-readers. Being a writer, I thought hanging out here would be a good idea. I think the very first post I read was about "why only Kindle format..." At that point, my ebook was only on Kindle. Aha! Learned something the first day.
Starting browsing and reading and kept right on learning. The readers and posters here have a broad experience level in computers, readers, world events and so on. I guess I found the place interesting enough to stay. |
