Hello Again,

Thanks to all. I knew it was  spam or possibly something much worse containing 
a worm or virus but I have good McAfee protection against those.  I still want 
to know what kind of device a Mobipocket is. Can anyone describe it as I would 
love to take a readable book with me when I take the train to various places in 
Miami or wait for what seems forever on the platform. Do any of you use them?

Amy
