Do you own an EBW1150 + other devices and why? - Page 2

Let me see now, I originally had an eBookwise 1150, got a GEB2150(REB1200), sold the 1150, got a original Rocket, sold the GEB2150, got four more Rockets, Picked up 2 Sharp Mobilon handheld PCs with the sole intention of using them as e-readers, got two Clio 1050 tablet PCs for the same reason, got another 1150 and somewhere in there also got a new in box Franklin ebookman 911 and a Godspeed ebible(Hiebook). I also have a Iriver U10 MP3 player and a Vivitar video camera that can read .txt files.

I think I'm covered for now on the e-readers. Maybe.

PS, out of all those e-readers, I only use the 1150 and a 4Mb Rocket.

Dang it! I knew there was something I was missing. I guess I'll have to wait till I get back from a very small island in the South Pacific to begin the search.

I also forgot to mention the Palm LifeDrive running Mobipocket.

I just finished reading my first ebook on my new EB1150 and LOVE it! I don't know if I can go back to reading actual paper books anymore.

Using the EB1150 has opened me up to reading other authors than I would normally read, and I want to read more of their works.

Unfortunately, it's hard to find them other than on Amazon... so it looks like I will one day get a Kindle as well.

I get most of my books through Fictionwise or Books on Board. They have most of the released ebook titles that are mainstream.

If you are looking for classics try Project Gutenberg, they have free classics and other books that are out of copyright.

In general I have found that most of the books that are available on amazon as an ebook eventually become available through BoB or Fictionwise, even if it takes a few weeks longer. If you are really impatient you can also try the publishers website, they tend to have copies of ebooks for sale.

I am glad you are enjoying your new eb1150! I know I love mine!

I hardly read a pback anymore, preferring my eb1150.
