so, vr, do you mean you don't have the option 'add poll to this thread" when you click on "thread tools" ? if no, i'll add the poll for you.

How about the "help me chose" forum? (too lazy to check how it's really called...)

Don't you have to check that when you create a thread?

nope, on the contrary, you have to first create the thread, then add the poll. (i know, it's a bit counter-intuitive.)

Yep, but people keep asking what reader to use when they only read PDF! And I have to keep myself in everytime: PDF isn't an ebook format!

No, you have to check: I want to create a poll, when you create the thread, and of you've done that, after you created the thread, you can create a poll. I just checked!

heh, hm, forgot about that. but it seems vr has figured it out, anyway.

why not leave that to the others who are really good at it ? there are a few people who have been practicing hard, i think.

Please choose from her list of candidates (and I've thrown in just a couple of others, too). All votes will be counted and the results will be binding (or will be bound and tossed overboard). I would mention my preferred candidate but that would probably be unfair.
Question: is there a blue Sony Reader model? And can it be please be photographed beside a fish?
