My new gadget

Yesh :) A pre-owned Sony E-reader PRS 600 that I was looking for. The previous owner, told me when we met up that he has gotten it from UK since last year, but didn't have much use for it. Not much e-books selection, he said.

So far, I have finished one Terry Prachett and one John Grisham, both borrowed from the National Library. And now, I have:-

• the Stieg Larsson - Girl with the Dragon Tattoo trilogy (I plan to finish them before I go watch the movie!!) (hopefully..);
• two more borrowed books from the National Library - Dune Book 3 and Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy;
• 射雕英雄传 （现处于－郭靖已拜七怪为师了）
• Oliver Twist (I want to try the Gutenburg Project)

And I wonder why the pre-owner said that there wasn't much e-books options..

Cons?

The only major grouse was that Sony Reader Library, the default application for the e-reader died on me..seems that it is a common grouse for a lot of other owners from the forums, driving them to embark on alternatives, seemingly more stable applications like Adobe Digital Edition, and Calibre. Well, it's Sony's loss then for losing its captive market for its online book store.

Second (minor) grouse..after I finished the first 2 borrowed library books, I cant "return" them, will have to wait for them to expire on their own (pro - I dont have to go to the library physically = I don't incur late fees just cos..I was too lazy to move my butt. Works well for me :D)

I ish happy :DD
