Suggested introduction :)
Well here I am introducing myself! I love to read, and have recently really picked up a taste for biography. I like history, that probably helps with the liking of biography. I found the site, I think looking for info on Sigil which I found by means of Calibre.

I'm using Sigil to clean up some Google Books & trying to decide what the best e-reader for me would be: strongly leaning towards the Kindle 3 wifi. Mainly will be reading the dozens+ of free Google Books I've found that I want to read, but won't if I have to sit in front of a computer screen, so I'm also considering a Nook just cause it does ePub, while Mobi doesn't handle all the CSS that ePub does (tried setting up a ol of the roman-numeral style, Kindle for PC choked).

Welcome deferredreward!

May be worth thinking about Sony as well if you want ePub capability. May also be worth waiting for the new Sony 350/650 as they will have ePub capability and (it's rumoured) Wifi.
