That's what we call them in our house, they're usually only read after the destruction of the item!
Oh I see. I'm pretty good in that I usually download what book I want then immediately turn wireless off, so hopefully it won't freeze on me I've come to a compromise where if I'm reading a book on it, I'll just put it to sleep between reading. When I'm reading a paperback, I turn the kindle off completely
I have to say, I do miss a few things on it that you get with paperbacks like of course, the smell and feel of the book. Michelle also warned me I'd miss the colour and I didn't know what she meant, I do now! I miss the book covers and the blurbs. Also one more thing, I miss seeing the size of the book. Seeing the size of the book helps me judge how long it will take me to read, or how long it will take me to finish if I'm getting to an exciting bit, even when to expect things to happen for more predictable books. I can't really tell all this atm, I'm sure I'll be able to eventually as I get used to percentages. Could this be a good thing in the end though? I mean sometimes, seeing a huge book can be daunting and put me off
I'm still glad I got one and am reading a book on it at the minute, I love the convenience of being able to download to it instantly - one book at a time too! If I order books I always order 4 - 6, so it doesn't seem like I'm spending as much money on books lately.... that will probably change at some point
