I'll have to agree with SensualPoet and DixieGal they both cover most of my reasons. Like many if us, I discovered MR when I was looking into the purchase of my Sony 505. I have been here daily ever since.

IRL people are fine and make good friends, but MR is my home.

This is one of the best resources for people looking for more information about eInk devices and eBooks, especially good when trying to avoid manufacturer spin and gives me stuff to think about.

Not much posting though, a lot of reading

I come here to pick fights with people that use capital letters for names of the threads

Now seriously.
I started reading e-books long ago when I exhausted all viable supplies of paper books in English here. That was some 15 years ago.
Until now, I haven't met (I mean personally) anybody else that would have keen interest in e-books, e-book reading devices, technology, e-book related gossip and speculation ... So. If I want to discuss e-books, where else can I go?
And besides, Mobileread is an extremely well informed, friendly and pleasant place to be. Even the most vicious flamewar I have seen here is very tame by any standards and moderators usually step in quickly to steer conversation into calmer waters.

Recently I realized that I like to meet authors here on MobileRead. I like when authors come, perhaps offer a freebie AND join discussion here. Such books offered directly by an author usually jump to the top of my ToBeRead queue.

One of forums that I visit very occasionally started to have that annoying advertising mouse-over, double underlined links.
As I have stated many times, this is *my* computer and it will do *exactly* what I tell it to do. I started to investigate. I even looked at the html source, and I was very surprised there were no links to ads there. I finally cornered a suspect - a Java script, or something like that. I have installed Firefox addon called YesScript, blacklisted the site and ... annoying ad-links disappeared ;-)
