I think what got me hooked to my new reader is the fact that it is so comfortable I do not realize it is a machine. I just bought it and the other day I was reading this book, and I gotta tell you, after I am done with one page I try to turn to the next page with my hands (yes, as if the book was real, trying to find the edge of the paper...of course I couldn't find any).
That happened like 3 times the other day, and yesterday again with a different book. Then I realize I have to push the button and not physically turn the page... I really love it. |

Glad to hear you're so happy with your Sony, William. I very soon reached the stage where I found treebooks fiddly, fussy, a downright pain to use. I'd been in the habit for decades of reading at least a couple of paperbacks a week: I reckon I'm now reading much more than that in ebook form, and a darned sight more comfortably. Cheers. Neil

Thanks for the bump. I didn't catch the OP before. Still describes the experience beautifully.

***Yeah, my only issue is that everything is not available in ebook form yet***
A valid point, Kenny. And I still do have to resort to treebooks from time to time. Given the choice, though, it's ebook every time. The more of us who use readers, the more the 'revolution' picks up momentum and the more it will make sense to publishers to make everything they have in their catalogues avasilable in e-formats. N |

Yep. Yep. Yep. No, that's not my dog. I agree and that is my approach as well. P.S. Just purchased Pat Conroy's "South of Broad" in epub. Last edited by kennyc; 09-27-2009 at 10:55 AM. |

I actually read a Dead Tree Edition book a few weeks ago and it was just so weird for me.
I think Bad Religion said it best with "I'm a 21st Century Digital Boy/I don't know how to live but I got a lot of toys." Digital toys |

I'm actually reading Digital Copyright by Jessica Litman in trade paperback format right now because I was unable to find an ebook at any of the online retailers that I frequent.
Does anyone else see the irony? |
