Happy birthday MobileRead???
Judging from Alex' join date here: is today the tenth birthday of MobileRead? Do we have something to celebrate?

Hi Billi,

Is this the reason why MR does not display properly, at least for me, today ? Neither with Safari, nor with Firefox....
Weird.... Opera mini does the job well.... Last edited by aceflor; 10-23-2012 at 08:11 AM. |

Ok.. It's not me... Safari on my iPad is *very* weird with what appears to be little ebook readers around the perimeter. Firefox on Linux works just fine.

Wow, coming up to the 10th year! I must be quite late to the party. However, I'm glad to be part of this community.

Better late than ever. And just in case I miss the real festivities, Happy Birthday MobileRead. Here's hoping for many more decades of fun and good information.

Two things strike me:
-That there were e-readers and enough momentum on them to have a site way back in 2002! -That I was eight years late to the party! |

Certainly, mostly PDA based but some dedicated readers existed. See our wiki on eBooks for a history of the entire process. See MobileRead also.

Yeah. I was reading on a Rocket Reader sometime prior to 2000. Actually, still have it in a box in storage though I doubt it still works.
