Hi everyone,

I'm new to e-book readers and stumbled across this forum, just to find tons of useful information and tips. I've to thank you guys already.

I'm currently located in germany, but travelling a lot while obviously reading a lot, too. Specially for trekking I consider an e-book reader pretty useful as it's light and small, while having lot's of books on it.

Right now I'm tempted to order a kindle 3 for travelling and connectivity reasons. Though I'm not quite sure if I order one directly to germany, or buy it in the US and let someone send it to me. Well, we'll see. In the meanwhile, I'll just keep on reading through the various threads in this forum.

Cheers for now,
Sharon

Hya Shazz. Good to have your new company. Hang on for advice from European (as opposed to US or UK) Kindlers. There are issues. Perhaps none that you can't overcome, but you should certainly be aware of them. Best wishes. Neil

Hello, Sharon

Welcome to the forum. I agree, if you're travelling, an e-reader is the most practical thing to have. I found myself at airports in the past wanting to buy a book to read on the flight and was limited to a selection that wasn't appealing to me. I ended up buying a book from an author I never heard of and was greatly disappointed. I wish I had an e-reader then.

Have fun in the forums.

Russell

Haha, I've some strong geeky tendencies, but I'm not in front of my computer all the time. But I intent to post more often.


So first of all, thank you everyone for the warm welcome. Seems like a very nice community!


@Neil
Thanks for pointing out the issues with kindle in europe. I read this in a couple of threads, and it's actually the reason why I haven't ordered one already.

@Russell
Ah, that's something I hate, buying a book just to find out that it's utterly humdrum.
I always take a book with me, but usually want to read a differnt one when I'm in the mood for reading while travelling.



As for the party, just tell me where and when!
