I may be DaTechGuy but I say No to Kindle etc…
I like the feel of a real book in my hand. If I drop a real book, it still works. I don’t have to worry about a license agreement to keep reading. I can leave specific books in specific places to read. I can loan them out. I can donate my books to schools. A book can dry out, it can’t lose power, or short circuit and if one device fails I don’t lose the lot. And if I lose it I don’t lose my entire ability to read my library.
I can tell what a person thinks by their bookshelf.
I don’t want one, I don’t need one, don’t buy me one.
Now if you like it, that’s fine but it’s not for me.



A couple more:
– I can read a real book while a plane is taking off.
– I don’t have to worry about a third party remote-erasing a particular book.
I agree with you DaTechGuy. I can only read a book if it’s in my hands. How can one underline a passage with E-Books? You cant. The Tech age is amazing, but some of it is just annoying and absolutely unfounded.
To each his own.
For me I haven’t read a regular book since May and so that the dozen or so were all ebooks. With the iPad don’t need a booklight can take my books with me everywhere to read. Plus my poor shelves were crying out for help because of the weight of books on them.
That’s very true, if you enjoy an e-book far from me to say you can’t have it.
