Aloha! Welcome to the forum!

I have just started reading some on my new blackberry... I prefer the 505, but the phone works too! It's great to be surrounded by books- in my purse and on my belt. Hope you enjoy yourself here!

So far I've read a two Neal Stephenson books, Anathem and Snow Crash. Then I read Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin. I am in the middle of 1491 by Charles Mann. On deck and waiting to be read is Infidel by Ayaan Hirsi Ali.

I picked Anathem as the first book to read on the Touch because it's substantial and requires attention, the idea being to test whether or not the Touch would work as an e-reader. It passed with flying colours, taking just a day before it became completely comfortable. I've played with several other e-reading apps and keep coming back to Stanza.

How about you? What do you like to read on your e-reader and what kind of device do you use? How did you come to using that device?

cheers,
bill

I have had a Sony 505 for 3 months now and can't imagine being without it! I was reading books on the laptop, but it wasn't very portable and the LCD screen wasn't great for reading for long periods. I've been reading a lot of the free books here on MobileRead and have just started reading Terry Pratchetts' Discworld series as well.
