I didn't realise I had it until I got back. I was looking for a fourth "March To" on the eReader and couldn't see it. When I got home I checked the internet and realised I already had book 4. I'll read it this week.Quote from: "Steve Walmsley"An update on the eReader. While I was away I read three novels (March Upcountry, March to the Sea and March to the Stars) plus part of Machiavelli's The Prince and the battery was still reading 50% full.

What? You didn't read "We Few"?

Excellent link TVMQuote from: "welchbloke"Kevin,Project Gutenberg has 7 or 8 of them Linky
Where is a good place to find EE Smith's books? I've got 3 of his stories in hard copy and I'd love to join the dots up between them.

Steve,Kevin,
I have two different versions of the Kindle--the first and second versions, thinking about buying the Kindle DX. The Kindle II is frankly awesome--I have more than fifty books on it, to include a whole bunch of out of copywrite sci-Fi H.Beam Piper's collected works are available for free, as are EE Smith. (I cut my teeth on these books). Still among my most appreciated fiction. The Kindle I had some ergonomic problems that have been fixed on the Kindle II. Only problem is very poor image resolution, and no color. But on the Plus side no screen glare, and easy extremly easy on the eyes. I read the Wall Street Journal on Kindle I and Kindle II and they are extremely easy to absorb at Breakfast.
Hope this helps.

I have the Sony Ebook myself and have had no problems. The battery will last for about a full day of reading as long as you do not read in the dark. If you have to turn the light on it goes down to about 4 hours endurance. I have about 60 books and documents on it. Some of them are from my classes where professors have pdf or text documents that they assign. It does not have any color capability and if you try to read something on a pdf file that has a page of pictures it does not work terribly well. Other than that I have been very happy with it. I use it for class work as I can put notes in it and do searches for text based documents. This has been very handy when trying to look up quotes in the middle of class.I have the Sony as well and I have been extremely happy with it. The battery life is excellent and I currently have 160 books on it, including the 100 free books - which I thought was a fantastic collection (currently reading Jules Verne's Journey to the Centre of the Earth), my entire David Weber collection and even the Rigellian Diary .
I use Mobireader on my laptop. If I recall, it's a free install, multiple platforms available, and you can store the books on a usb drive/flash card for transport between devices.
