Nice! If you can enjoy reading on the thing, it will open a whole new world of reading for you. Personally, for some reason I can only enjoy actual books.

Do you want more books? I have 4375 (Most of them might be in Dutch, though...) of them in an ebook library I acquired. They're of mixed formats of epub and mobi, and a few html but you can use http://calibre-ebook.com/ to convert those (That's a very useful program for ebook managment, try it out!).

I would love some! Would you be able to separate the English books form the rest?

I don't think so, but you can easily get most books you want online. Just search the pirate bay for them (Filter to the ebook category), and torrentz.eu or figure out IRC and join irc.undernet.org #bookz and use the file sharing bots there.

If none of that works, go to google and search for something like "the daemon daniel suarez filetype:pdf" (without the quotes) and search the list and hope you get lucky, find a pdf and then convert that with calibre to epub.

They won't have e-ink, so they'll pretty much suck. They're going to be locked down android tablets which will counter the nook colour.

Can you tell me more about that undernet group? I don't know how to access or use that.

What's strange though, going online with the e ink. Every site looks like a book, very odd.

IRC is a chat protocol, and you need an IRC client to access it. Check out google for xchat or mirc. Install either, configure it to point to network irc.undernet.org and then type /join #bookz. Once you managed that, in the #bookz channel you type "@search (term here)" and it tries to send you a file (Your client will tell you) that you need to download, unzip and then there is a .txt file that contains your search result with lines you need to copy in the chat to then retrieve the file.

You'd probably fit in real nice over here http://boards.4chan.org/lit/

Lurk, download, start threads etc.

I have always wanted one.

What languages are available in the Kindle library?
