I have a couple of ereaders. The first is a Sony Pocket Reader (PRS350). The second is an Amazon Kindle Wifi. The Sony is more expensive but I love the size which is small. The other great thing I love is the fact that I can check books out of public libraries in my area. In order to do this your library network must be signed up with Overdrive. The 2 library networks in my area have a check out time period of 2 weeks, after that time is up the book is autochecked back into to the library. The Sony reads an ebook format called epub as well as pdf's. Sony Reader Store, Borders, and Barnes and Noble all sell books in either epub or pdf formats. The Kindle has the plus of having wifi so books can be directly downloaded to it. I feel covers for an ereader are a must. Both of mine also have smart phone apps for them.

Currently Reading
I'm currently reading Steve Berry's The Emperor's Tomb. I'm a quarter of the way through and so far so good but then again I've loved every one of his books especially the Cotton Malone series. The historical figure/ location this time is the tomb of China’s First Emperor. There is a little novella that takes place before this called The Balkan Escape. The focus of that novella is on Cassiopeia Vitt. I have not read it yet but I do love Cassiopeia.
Colors And Layout
It's so hard to come up with colors and a layout that are easy on the eyes and that doesn't cause the eyes to bleed. The layout and colors may change as time goes along.
First Test
This is my first test. I have the following book on my short read list. I've read every book minus the novella. I really love The Black Dagger Brotherhood series by J.R. Ward. It's a mix of vampires and romance, part of the paranormal romance genre.
