Books have this nasty habit of having the bookmark fall out when they drop from snoozing fingers ...<br /><br />I think I got my peek at E-Books a little early, through an iPaq. Don't think it'd be up to E-books now due to a battery that's drawing more pension than power.

I put a cover on my Kindle, and it feels just like reading a book, but I can make the font larger, and there's a lot less eye strain reading off it than off a computer.<br /><br />eBooks are typically a lot cheaper, too. Just look at mine...$15.95 for the print version of the new book, $2.99 for the e-version.<br /><br />Thumperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02154314376352066709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3652957.post-57206096200320059032009-09-16T06:45:03.257-07:002009-09-16T06:45:03.257-07:00kenju - I too like the look/feel/smell even of rea...kenju - I too like the look/feel/smell even of real books... but, the ereader is a LOT more convenient.<br /><br />I now read an average of 30 books a year (roughly one every 1 1/2 - 2 weeks). Before my ereader, If I read 10 in a year, that was a lot.<br /><br />My eReader fits right into my purse. Its smaller than a magazine.
