Boo and Yay

So I finally got it. Yay! And it looks just like this picture. Yay! And it reads RTFs like a dream! Yay! And PDFs too. Yay! But not that well. Boo! And the screen looks just like paper. Yay! And I have to convert every single one of my PDFs to RTFs so I can see it better. Boo! Because this thing can’t size PDFs very well. Boo. But I have an ebook reader. Yay! Thanks to my parents!

P.S. As a result of this, I just may start reviewing more ebooks. Watch out now!

    Yay for you. Go parents. Use 16 sized font for your RTFs.

    I’ve been thinking about getting one, but thought I’d wait until version 2.0 was on the market. I’ll be interested in seeing what you think about yours a few months from now.

    I love the idea of taking one ebook reader and 50 ebooks on vacation, rather than hauling a suitcase full of paperbacks I can discard along the way.

    Word is for the price,Sony dropped the ball on this. So much potential but they didn’t back light it, and then there is the whole proprietory software deal. A few people have said they returned it.

    But when it comes to an ebook reader, and no ebook reader…well you don’t really need to do the math (especially when its a gift!)

    I was talking about this with hubby the other night. I said I will design it, you create software that will read everything! I, of course, will make it look trendy and cool so everyone will want one…think colour ipod…mmmm

    I’m wanting one badly. I just hope it doesn’t come with The DaVinci Code.

    What a fantastic gift. I think I hate you. The type of hate that only pure jealousy engenders. Enjoy your gift bitch! ;)

    Ooooh, very nice.

    Although the little bit I can read of tDVC convinces me that I probably won’t ever pick it up.
