Post I think I'm addicted!
Howdy fellow readers. I just bought the Kindle 2 a few days ago. I have to review 75 research proposals for a US government federal funding agency and couldn't stand the thought of all that ink and paper going to waste, hence a mobile ebook reader sounded like the ticket! I am having so much fun with this thing, I am now reading Vonnegut's Cat Cradle with it, and have subscribed to the New York Times. Now what was the original reason for the kindle....?

Hello A & welcome to MobileRead. I'm very fond of my Kindle and read on it as much as possible. If you haven't found them yet, there are *tons* of classic books -- and some released under a creative commons license -- available right here at MobileRead. Just click the "E-Books" link in the blue bar at the top of the page.

We're glad you've joined us at MobileRead.

A's Kindle, all it takes is once. Addiction is guaranteed but the pleasure never fades. Enjoy it!

Welcome to MobileRead, A'sKindle!

The addiction is only going to get worse over time and there is not 12 step program to help you out so just go with it!

Happy Reading!

Hi A's Kindle and welcome to MR. Joining here is another addiction in the making.

You have been warned, but alas it is too late :-)

Good to have your company, A. It's always great when a new member comes along with excitement over a new device rather than frustration (mind you, that can usually be easily fixed with some simple advice here). Best wishes. Neil

You mean, getting some simple advice from here can fix the excitement and turn it into frustration
