Hi from the ex capital of culture
Hi all, short time lurker and new member, wanted to say Hi from Liverpool. I have a history of using Palms and Windows PDAs for mobile reading and am taking the plunge into the proper kit at last, just waiting to finish my collection of novels that I received in hardback for Xmas before I spend my hard earned on a lovely new Sony 505.

That's a good goal (to read your hardbacks before you get a Reader). Hurry up though!

Hi snickp and welcome to the Forum. I tried waiting till I finished all my pBooks but, in the end went out an bought a 505 and got so hooked on it, I bought the eBook version of a paperback I was halfway through, and never regretted it. Mind you, most junkies don't regret the money they spend on their habits either.

I think the last year went well for Liverpool, it certainly managed to attract a lot of visitors and we had some pretty special stuff going on in terms of entertainment. I hope it gives a lasting legacy that is more than just the commercial side of things with Liverpool One, but who can tell.
I am resisting as best I can the purchase of my new toy, so every time I hear about how great they are my iron resolve gets a bit more rusty. I may well just take the plunge tomorrow.. Forgot to say, vote has been counted and verified I hope.. |

oooh, stay strong snickp, if you are like me, all the paper books you bought just before getting a reader will stay in unread (and increasingly dusty) piles on the bedside table (and the living room table, and the bookshelves, and possibly even a few piled up on the floor, if your bookshelf space is limited like mine... ).
or, you know, give in to temptation now, and get those books in e-form. |

Actually, eBooks have pretty much cured me of this compulsion of buying to much ahead of time. Now I pretty much don't buy a book till I'm ready to read it. Although I do still have a large list of downloaded "toberead" stuff since it was all free.
