It's not just the story but the weight of the book, its smell, the little notes in the margins of second hand books-I would never dream of writing in anything other than a text book but I love when I find a comment. It's almost like you're talking to the previous reader. The ebook reader changes the reading experience and I'm not sure I want that.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12557154047107869132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35619589.post-23480671951328887812008-09-17T20:14:00.000+01:002008-09-17T20:14:00.000+01:00Yes they are cool, Sue, but like Calistro I'm goin...Yes they are cool, Sue, but like Calistro I'm going to wait for the price to drop .I just wouldn't use it enough to justify the current expense.

I'm not about to rush out and buy one at £200 a pop (plus the cost of the ebooks) but if they dropped in price to about £50 I might consider it. It would be great for holidays (if you can use it in bright sunlight) as it would save the space taken up by 5 or 6 paperbacks in my suitcase!CL Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04650291635298634215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35619589.post-17421900784170942262008-09-17T18:41:00.000+01:002008-09-17T18:41:00.000+01:00this whole ebook thing...I just can't decide.
