Well, I'm doing it !
Hows that for a title....
Im waiting for my drive now to go to the local Costco and buy the LIBRE !!! So, anyone who was encouraging... I got your number.. Just kidding. There's really no option for me, Libre or nothing (even though I got a Tungsten T2 PDA... oh well) Hopefully it's more than a gadget. |

I got the Libre last week and have been loving it. Takes a while getting used to reading on it rather than a book, but it's worth it. I've found that epub work better than pdf, with rtf being the worst (mainly for layout and line/paragraph/page breaks). I also like the different sized fonts - I can read again without my glasses

Glad you made your decision. I waited till it dropped to 139 at mwave before buying. In early February, Frys.com had it at an even better price of 129 but it ran out after a few days, I missed it because like you I was wondering if it would just be another "gadget" that would sit around collecting dust.
I also have a tungsten PDA and I think I can only keep that open for only 4-5 hours before the battery runs out because of the backlight. The libre will last much longer. I just downloaded my first library book and am enjoying it immensely. |

My main motivation was being able to bring it on camping trips. (USB car charger solves the battery problem.) But being able to sit in bed with a thin device like this, and not worsen my wrists (which are getting better, but not there yet, since I buggered them up a few months back) was a good short-term motivator too. Saving shelf space certainly doesn't hurt either!
