Instead, I read a lot. Or downloaded at lot to read, even if not quite yet. I have 3 or 4 different ebook readers on my Blackberry and to test them out I’ve been busily downloading stuff to all of them (and, of course, forgetting which one has what).

They all work well but I think I’ve settled on Mobipocket Reader as my ebook reader of choice, for a number of reasons:

1. It’s free and easy to work with

2. I can download info from anywhere and create an ebook out of it, using Mobi’s ebook creator (it creates in different formats, too.)

3. It’s really easy to make notes and bookmarks as I am reading on the Blackberry then, after syncing with PC, copy the text I want and the notes from the desktop app into some other program – to blog about it or whatever. You can also sync online but I’ve not done this yet.

And, let’s see – that’s mainly it. I know other services do the same, but this one is just easiest for me, and has the advantage of everything being free.
