well, charge up that battery so it will be ready to play tomorrow ! (little tip : if you charge via the usb cable, make sure your pc doesn't shut down / go to sleep, as that will *empty* the battery). you're going to love it !

Good luck trying to sleep tonight. Betcha you're before dawn.

I’m always up at dawn anyway.

My Reader is now charging.

My money's on him not going to bed until after it's charged, then reading in bed!

LOL You sounded just like me when I ordered mine. I hope you have enjoyed it. I carried with me 15 books through airports and on plane and never once got a sore arm for it.
Enjoy

omg the longest 30 minutes of my life, waiting for the red light to turn off after i read the directions that you had to have it fully charged hahahaha

Oh and don't forget the 3 seconds waiting for the Reader to sync with the library!! Those are even longer!!! LOL

Soooooooo????? are you reading? late into the night? (early into the morning?) What book was your "first?" I'm dying to know, but I fear we will never see you again now that you have your hot little number in your hand!

Congrats!

Hi everyone,
Yes I have started reading on my Reader. It’s great. I began with one of the «special deals» books on the sony ebookstore : Once bitten, Twice shy. I enjoy a good vampire story, this one is allright. I also picked up Weapons of Choice.
At first I was a little disappointed with the contrast, but when I started actually reading I found that it was fine. I dont notice it. I did try converting a cbr comic book file just to see how it looked. It that case I find the contrast to be insufficient for a comfortable read, but understandably so since the original file was in color. I suspect that if I tried it with a black and white comic it would look fine.

Right now I still have a few free (and 1$) books to read. I expect to pick up a few Terry Pratchett discworld books. I’m anxious to read something from an author whose regular books I’ve read before. To see if it «feels» different.

Cheers,
Max
