No, it's not what you think (but I bet [livejournal.com profile] twilight2000 fell off her chair just reading the subject line).  Through the friendly and very kind auspices of the mistresses of Smart Bitches Trashy Books, I'm spending a chunk of my summer as a guinea pig.

I have here on the desk a Sony PRS-505 Reader, which I'll be "test driving" through the end of September.  I've already loaded some two dozen titles on the device (not counting a handful of odds and ends and the gadget's onboard user's guide).  Over the course of the next couple of months, I'll be putting the Reader through its paces, and the 30 of us in the Test Drive group will be reviewing both the device and a wide variety of romance titles (since SBTB is, after all, a romance readers' blog/site) over on SBTB.

It's going to be a very interesting ride.  Despite having published two ebooks, I haven't been an ebook consumer before now, and I've read relatively little category romance (though that's been changing a bit over the last year or two, as a number of writers whose work I enjoy have begun writing and publishing in the romance genre).  I'll certainly be linking to my SBTB "Test Drive" entries from here, and most likely posting additional observations (very likely including book-notes) in this space.

And so it begins....

Keep us informed! I've been toying with the idea of the Sony, myself. Very interested to hear what you think of it.

ok - so you went to "our college" - and you're a con attending fan and you're following Reno2011 - but I can't guess who you might be...

This is a puzzlement!

New Rule: no drinking ANYTHING while reading posts from djonn

Good Lord - fall off my chair is about right :>. Not that I don't imagine you could have one, just that I wouldn't expect you to *talk* about a summer of romance in *public* ;>.

So - you answering email again?

Heh - of course - but still, anything other than delicate references in *public*? You astonish me, sir!

And answers at all are good – whether I *like* them is my problem ;>
