Newbie
Hi all. Just thought I'd say hello before beginning. I am a life-long avid book reader, but lately have begun to enjoy the benefits of eBooks/eReaders. I have a Sony PRS-505 and really have grown attached to it. I look forward to learning more about this whole domain, and possibly to meeting some of you in this forum. I live in Winnipeg in Canada. Smiles to all. -jim

Hi & welcome to MR
If you have any questions regarding the reader, check out the subforum for the Sony. Lots of questions have been answered. If yours isn't among them or you can't find it, just ask. Plenty of helpful folks around here. Also check out the eBook library from MR. Sooooo many free books, lovingly formatted by MR members. That'll keep you reading for a while. A lot of people don't like the software coming with the Sony. Here is a good alternative: Calibre. Very easy to use and it allows you to organise your books exactly the way you want. And don't forget to look into the Lounge if you want some fun. |

Good to have your company, Jim. A good time to join us because you'll find freebies and generous deals posted here by MobileRead members just now during Read an Ebook Week.
If you follow the link in my sig line below, for instance, you can scroll down for up to twenty-five ebooks in any format on a pay-what-you-like (or nothing at all basis). My own wee publishing house was Europe based for eight years, by the way, but we recently registered in Canada. You'll find quite a few Canadian authors in our list of titles. Cheers. Neil |

Thank you...
Wow! It's so kind of you all to say hello and to welcome me as you have. Thank you so much for that. And I am truly amazed at varied locations from which your welcome messages are coming. As much as technology is a part of my life, I am still often dazzled by the great things that it brings us - in this case, the opportunity to exchange words with some thoughtful and avid readers from all over the world. That's very cool. This is gonna be fun. -jim
