Hi All

Hello Everyone,

My name is Rick from the state of Mass. in USA.

Have been reading "many" of the threads here on "What to buy".
Some very good advice! Definitely would not have thought of it on my own.

So, I made the choice (CyBook Gen 3) and placed an order at Books on-Board yesterday for the basic model with black cover.

Also, have an iPhone. It is too small for me to use for reading - old eyes

Thank you all for the help.

Cheers,

Rick

Welcome, from a fellow iPhone person (who can't read from there for longer than grocery-line time, also due to older eyes) who went the other route, with a Kindle. Enjoy the forum!

Hi Rick and welcome to the Forum. I have an iPhone and I've found it handy to have the same eBook on both that and my Sony 505. That way I've always got my book at hand.

Thanks for the welcome.

@badgoodDeb: :-) downloaded Stanza. Still can't use it even though it has different fonts and sizes.

@grooks: definitely. Can hardly wait :-) Think it will be shipped from the batch BoB gets today. Not sure how to find out though.

@cassidym: Great idea!! I use audiobooks on the iPhone.
