Add me as a maybe (and toss the wife in there too). AI am though a bit of a luddite; I still read eBooks on my Palm-TX; not one of these new sexy dedicated readers
Oh where oh where have the true PDA's of old gone! I don't want a phone / PDA... Just give me a Calendar / Organizer / eBook reader |

However, I missed the larger screen, even though I had even used the smallest legible fonts on the PDA's to gain the most words on screen! So back to the dedicated ebook readers I went, without as much as an mp3 player! At one time, I was seriously looking at the hiebook as THE ebook reader to have since it was a cross between a PDA and ebook reader, but alas the Korean company did not survive long enough to make an impact! |

The meet-up is going to be awesome. My new apartment is right down the street front here, so I am willing to schlep whatever devices I can find (Alphasmart Dana, anyone?) And did I mention that my Sony Reader has flowers on it?
