OK so call me old fashioned but I don't understand the new desire to read things electronically. I don't have an e-reader, kindle or anything to read books on. Oh wait..... I do my blackberry thing has the ability to download books onto it. I have done it twice and I have had it for over a year.
I like books, I like taking them with me where ever I go, I like being able to say to a friend "hey I just finished this great book I think you'll like it" and giving it to them. I read every night and I enjoy reading. I also read everything if someone suggests it I will read it. Some books take me longer to get through than others but I will always finish the book. I also read cookbooks. I love reading cookbooks and hope I get a new one for mothers day.
I know books are heavy, books take up space etc....I've heard it all but I don't understand there is nothing like turning the page, skipping ahead a few chapters seeing what is happening and looking at the cover of the book. I also love the smell of books.
Okay, I love my Kindle and actually read way more than ever before. The books I tend to choose are big and heavy and I like to read laying down, so I find them hard to hold. I like to fall asleep reading, so I always needed a light or lamp while reading and couldn't get comfortable. I also read quickly and would run out of books and never find time to go to the library and get more. Plus, for travelling, it's nice to have a thin little Kindle loaded with 40 books!
