I have a Sony
the actual reader is brilliant, but what is shit is that you can't create your own books with meta data (like hyperlink contents pages etc.) and to get a decent format you need to convert everything to the stupid Sony proprietry format and Sony don't provide a convertor, but I've found one that does the conversion online. Still fiddly though.

that's pretty gay about the conversion
I'd like to try a Kindle or something, but you can't just borrow that sort of thing from a shop or Amazon unfortunately.

Yeah, but you don't actually pay for them do you?
Project Gutenberg, all the classics you could ever need. And for everything else, there's mu torrent.

I love Project Gutenberg
I also love the Burgomeister.

But with new books I feel some urge to pay for them. Especially if I love the author- Murakami, Hobb, etc

I don't like new books
and I particularly don't like the price.

I'm totally kicking against THE MAN
by stealing books. Nothing to do with me being a dirty thieving git or 'owt. Just protesting against the man.

It didn't cross my mind that there would be any other explanation

I don't buy new books
but I do buy books of which the author is still alive occasionally.
