Hi. I have been lurking on this site for a month or two now and decided to join up. I don't have an e-reader yet as to be honest I'm waiting for colour e-ink but I really love the idea of keeping your books in one place for a few reasons.

1. it would get my mum of my back about how much room my books take up
2. Since I'm the only bookworm in the family it means I don't have easy access to bookstores so if I had the e-reader it would mean less waiting around

3. traveling. As I have been in a situation where I was on a boring holiday and I only had 2 books to read now if I had an e-reader I would've been alright as I could've just re-read some books on the device.

I would add my wishlist for my ideal e-reader but I think I remember seeing a thread about that somewhere I just can't remember where so it's time to do some searching.

There's one thread https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...=ideal+ereader

But lots of others on a similar theme around, and lots of information in the forums and the wiki about different readers. I'm sure you'll find lots of information while you're waiting!

One of the reasons I got my sony was because I didn't have any more space for paper books and now I prefer reading on my sony.

Hi Pandora Moon! Hope you enjoy the banter!

Welcome to the board! I'm sure you'll find lots of information here to help you in your choice. I love my reader for some of the reasons you mentioned (although my "mum" is more of a book collector than me- I use the library almost exclusively! And she lives a few thousand miles away, so she doesn't know what is in my house anyway...)
