Means I have hundreds of books with me wherever I go and I don't even need a light on to read. And as I'm currently reading Anna Karenina, it's a hell of a lot lighter than the book would be. It's the first E-book reader I've liked, to the extent that some of my eobooks are being read more quickly than my paper books. It's wonderful for reading in bed. he only problem is finding enough e-books that are in non-proprietary formats. Baen books has a free on-line library (many of the free books are the first in a series, the rest of which are have to be paid for, but they seem to be available in free file formats). Of course there's project gutenberg for much older works, and the author Cory Doctorow makes hos published works available for free download from hos web page. Both Baen books and Cory Doctorow find that free downloads seem to increase actual sales. -- hendrik _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@xxxxxxxxx https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
