I also enjoy the time I spend away from my laptop or work computer or television. That said, you are right about its use for those who travel or are away from home for extended periods. I have to add that, having moved to a new apartment last month, I definitely felt the value of having hundreds of books stored on a server somewhere:)ginahttp://www.ginachoe.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1434302889299955261.post-22182364726398026362010-06-28T12:33:21.266+01:002010-06-28T12:33:21.266+01:00Hi, Book Bird Dog, I love gadgets can stare at com...Hi, Book Bird Dog, I love gadgets can stare at computer screen for hours, but when it comes to books paper wins every time.<br /><br />Tamara, I think a lot of people will find the authors they like may not be supported, especially if the books they like are obscure, or the writers not popular, also think how few books don't get published in english translation because of a supposed lack of interest ( or minority interest) are they likely to make it to an E format ?.@parridhlanternhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12793548943992250238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1434302889299955261.post-72187814730215794052010-06-28T04:32:46.067+01:002010-06-28T04:32:46.067+01:00Hi, I have tried an e-reader and my decision was t...Hi, I have tried an e-reader and my decision was to keep it for certain occassions. I commute on the train 1 hr each way - sometimes having a hard copy book in my bag just adds to what else Im carrying and my PDA is already with me. But generally, I prefer a book to hold and turn, and show my friends what Im reading. It's a little strange pulling up a screen on my PDA to show them the cover! I support E books for the environment, yet in Australia we have such bizzare copywrite laws that many of the authors I like aren't avalable here in e-format.

I'm thinking if I get an eReader my better half might use it as he is not as fond of paper books as I am and loves to be reading on a "screen."Harveehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03490108303790217277noreply@blogger.com
