About 2 months ago there was a mention of ebooks getting cooler, but no mention of my much loved device.
When the kindle was released I had a moment of joy until I realized it wouldn’t work outside the USA. I was willing to purchase it despite looking like an oversized calendar until I knew this.
So renewed with hope that all things ebook would star progressing past PDA I went on the hunt and discovered that Sony ebooks are not for sale outside the USA.
Other brands of ebooks had bad reviews and poor support; I thought my dreams would have to be placed on hold for another few years.
So my bookshelf continued to grow, now taking up a wall and three books deep on each self. Amazon sending me parcels of joy about once a month to feed my addiction to all things fantasy and fiction.
Then I found my favorite toy at www.bookeen.com
They shipped to all around the world, they are on third generation product, they were affordable light and looked sexy. So I made it mine – and it has not left my handbag since.
Pros : Smaller handbag, instant download, fav authors on bittorent, battery lasting days of heavy use, not carrying two books when i'm near the end, entire library in my hand
Cons: Battery running dead on bus because I forgot the charge it, older books not available on mobibook format (bittorrent FTW), no sub folders for books
So for any fellow book geeks who have been waiting for something there is something out there!
