The other day as soon as I started Pidgin I received an IM from a friend of mine. It was something he wrote while I wasn’t online, so it popped up immediately. The sentence was “Hardware description languages turn me on“. Shocking, I know. But he is a geek. By now you shouldn’t be surprised if you found out that I’m one too. It’s one of the many silly conversations an average geek has every day. But back to the story, I mention this because it was him that brought to my attention the little device that gives title to this post some months ago. It looked cool, but I wasn’t really in the market for new gadgets so I mostly forgot about it.

That was until last week. And yes, it finally arrived on Monday.

I know it wasn’t long ago when I said that I wouldn’t probably have an eReader for a long time. But what can I say. I read a lot. And as noted, I’m a geek. So it was pretty much something bound to happen.
