I have the Sony eReader. I really like it. I love to read and I travel a lot (a lot of times with baggage weight requirements) so packing a lot of books doesn't work out. It's light and easy to use and all that stuff. The only problem I've noticed so far (aside from people laughing when I tell them I have to charge my book) is when you doze off while laying down and reading a metal ereader hurts more when it falls into your face. I still prefer paper books and if I ever read an ebook that I absolutely love I'll probably go out and buy it in paper form.

Hi. I'm Ashley. I'm 24. I'm a marine biologist and right now I work on seismic boats in the Gulf of Mexico (soon to be in the Arctic). I was directed to this site by my friend Susan. She sent me the link and I got distracted and spent a while just looking around. It's a pretty awesome site, so I thought I'd introduce myself. My biggest weight/diet problems are: 1. I love food. And 2. I love naps (or just sitting around with a book). I want to make changes that I can live with, not some crazy crash diet that makes me hate my life. I've already (mostly) given up soda (or pop, whichever you prefer) and am working on portion control. I spent 5 weeks on a boat with two girls who were a little obsessive about what they ate. They would skip meals and make comments if someone would eat something delicious like ice cream. And it made me self conscious because both of those girls were way smaller than me. That's not a way I want to live though. I don't want to feel guilty about wanting to eat ice cream, but instead of eating half the container, I'll have a smaller portion. I also need to work on putting down my book or turning off my computer and getting up off my butt and go outside. (Though sometimes that's just miserable in Florida) So, yeah. I haven't made any specific goals yet... just to stop being lazy and to stop eating everything I see. Seems simple enough.
