Reading ebooks
Has anyone successfully mastered this? Or know of any reasonably priced gadgets I can put downloaded books onto which will make the experience more pleasurable.

I've begun experimenting with speedreading software. At the moment I'm using a trial version of AceReader, which makes reading ebooks more fun.
Will probably start a thread concerning speedreading.

I also like the privacy of reading electronically - I can now read certain genres on my PDA and not have the whole world know what I'm reading (e.g. erotic romances etc)
I also love the Irex Iliad - an ebook reader - which uses electronic paper - it reads and feels like paper - and is perfect for those who still prefer the touch and feel of paper - but which now combines the latest technology.

I once read a manuscript from another author (for whom I was giving a critique) on a PDA. The only trouble I had then was in trying to keep track of where I was when I turned it off.
I'll likely start reading e-books once I get some free time to read again. That might be a while.

it looks like paper, reads like a book. it has a slot for a memory card (i have a 4gb memory card) it can literally hold hundreds and hundreds of books. i recommend it to anyone who travels a lot or desires to have a plethora of books on the go =)
i love it =)
(it can also play music and you can view pictures, txt files, .pdf's, etc.)

That's something I would love to have. How heavy is it? And how good is the battery life? Can you highlight certain part of the text? I mean bookmarking etc.?knightss wrote:i recently received a sony e-book reader =)
