ebookless Raúl says hello

Hello there!

I have to confess that i am a newcomer to the whole eBook thing (i haven't bought any reading device yet), and i found this site recently, via some link in some review of the Kindle (i think, or maybe it was the Sony Reader, who knows?). Anyway, i think that eInk is a very interesting technologoy indeed, although it still has a long way to go, imho. I happen to be visually impaired and i look forward to a brighter future in which digital reading allows me to read whatever book i want using the font face & size i please, without straining my eyes like i have to do now with paper & ink books with small fonts and/or poor contrast. ah! the endless posibilities yet unfulfilled! to hold a library in the palm of your hand... erm, sorry, that's it, i just wanted to say hello to the community. I hope to be able to cross over to the ebook side some day.

Raulf, hopefully one of the eink ebooks will spark an interest and you'll get one *cough* 505 *cough* and enjoy reading ebooks on the go.
