Ten days ago my life changed. I did not win the lottery or ordered a Russian mail order bride but I received a rather welcome surprise. The surprise was the small but powerful Elonex EB500. Honestly I had my reservations about this eReader. The 5” screen seemed super small and I wondered if I will ever be able to read an eBook on it. After doing the unthinkable (reading the gadget manual found inside the box) I started to charge the eReader.
