I love my eReader.

You should get one if you enjoy reading in your downtime, /lit/.

Benefits of owning an eReader, other being fucking God-like for simply possessing one:

- Makes your dick bigger
- You gain the ability to always pull exact change for a purchase out of your pocket
- LASER EYES
- You will secrete a pheromone that causes everyone to love you instantly when they meet you.
- You can crush walnuts with your ass cheeks
- You will speak every language that has ever existed fluently
- Mind control powers are now yours
- Most eReaders include a working lightsaber

I actually bought a Sony eReader today. It's currently charging, but I have some questions.

1) How do I edit author info? It's weird to have my professor's book, which I even own legally, be listed under the name of his secretary.

2) Will this thing read .doc files fine? The software on the computer claims it needs to launch my Word (well, Tofu) on my computer to read .doc files, but will the reader itself be able to read these files?

Go download Calibre. Add the book to your library. Edit the information. Convert the .doc to an epub format. Send it back to your Pocket Book. Enjoy a vastly improved reading experience.

I don't know about author info changing because I never gave a shit to try it out.

Go ahead and download Calibre for managing eBooks and shit. It is free and does an awesome job of converting files to whatever file type you want for your reader. I personally recommend using ePUB files when you convert, they just have nice text sizes.

In all seriousness, I cannot fathom that there is a samefag who, for no other reason than tech obsessiveness, starts this thread every day.

At any rate, I bought a Sony eReader, so I guess you win, or something.

I like it so far. I'm not going to use it until it's fully charged, so. Downloaded Calibre; currently converting my bookses.

OP here, I got one too and it really is a great device for casual reading and having your books on the go. I ain't trolling about that in the slightest, but I make the thread for trolling purposes, mainly.

About to go and read some more of the Codex Alexandra stuff now and will bump this thread back into existence in a few hours just to get back on front page again.

Rented out a Kindle from the school library, was nice for the train ride home for spring break...but I couldn't see myself spending that much on one. After they come down in price, probably.

I'm on manybooks downloadin' some awesome shite. Life ain't bad.

My only gripe right now is that 1) I already own the Pevear translation of The Idiot, and I'm 200p into it so far, but 2) I can't just download that translation for free, so I've got the Eva Martin one now.

I was in one of my classes (college lecture, so no one knows who the fuck anyone else is) when i whipped out my kindle.

suddenly, this really cute chick was all over me asking me first about the kindle and then about myself. we ended up going out for some coffee after our class. i told her about what kind of model i had and let her play around with it (HUEHUEHUE).

our next class period i saw her with the exact same kindle and she never spoke to me again.
