I must agree with you G14. The first page of this thread was slightly confusing. No-one seems to like e-readers? Why would that be?
My hubby bought me a kindle for xmas and I am absolutely inlove with it. I have been able to read books I otherwise wouldn't have even bothered reading. I joined this Forum and saw that Fahrenheit 451 was the January book and within 3 seconds I had downloaded the FREE e-book to my kindle.
I can lie in bed on a saturday morning and download my newpaper without having to make myself look decent to the public eye to go and buy one.
I love my Kindle and can't imagine why any book lovers wouldn't. It opens up SO many doors! It's brilliant! You will find yourself reading alot more.
One of the features I love most about the kindle, is that it has a built in dictionary. So while reading your passage, if you come across a word you don't understand, you highlight it and there you go, the definintion is right there!
Don't knock it till you've tried it!!
