I actually join this forum a week or so ago. Since then there are any number of times I’ve been reminded that I have not yet introduced myself. This should remedy that oversight.
I am a retired senior citizen who has been recently discovered e-books. I have a Sony PRS 600 reader, and a second Sony PRS 600 reader, which I bought as a backup, but has now been usurped by my wife. I discovered Calibre very early on, and was immediately impressed. I quickly forwarded a small token of my appreciation to the author via PayPal. For any of you who haven't done that, and use the product (and have the wherewithal) I suggest that it would be a wise idea. As a newbie in this forum I have several questions. Some are relative to Calibre, and others are relative to the Sony device I own and/or the next Sony device that I will own. As time goes on I hope I will be able to be of help to others as I'm certain you people are going to be to me. Thanks for the use of the soap box! J. |

I love this thread. Its great info and very easy to find (without having to ask). Thank you so much!
A lot of the people on MR can be rather...intimidating when just joining. I lurked for quite some time before even opening an account. |

I'm so glad I found this site! I got a Kindle for X-Mas (I'm a book-a-day gal, have been for decades), & your tips, DG, are going to shave off so much of the learning curve! Thank you!
Hey, Amazon offered Diana Gabaldon's 1st Highlander book a week before Christmas & I didn't snag it because I DIDN'T KNOW I WAS GETTING A KINDLE. Do you think they'd still give it to me? |

Thanks for all the information Grandma. I have a question. How do I start a new thread on Mobile Read? I can't see anywhere to click.

Anne, go to the forum you want to post in. Right at the top is a dark blue button 'new thread'. Just click this and start your thread
