I am not interested in an e-reader for casual, recreational reading and don't imagine I ever would be. On the other hand, if Amazon were ever to turn all the books I have in my personal medieval research library into e-books, I'd happily buy a Kindle so I could take all my "research" along when I go on vacation and more easily work on my WIP's. I once heard the president of Amazon give a talk on Book TV and he said that Amazon's goal is to eventually digitalize every book that has ever been written. When that happens and it includes all my research books, THEN I'll want a Kindle!Joyce DiPastenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16638031103659265422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25573541.post-30041448712184877182009-11-18T15:48:41.637-07:002009-11-18T15:48:41.637-07:00.

I have read several books entirely online, though, so I do foresee myself going this route eventually. Not all books are compatible with this format though (My two books, for example...)Rebecca Irvinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07156262858446400612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25573541.post-83029090144504128202009-11-17T14:26:59.066-07:002009-11-17T14:26:59.066-07:00Oh, another thing.

He did this because 1) he's a tech geek and 2)he was tired of me packing a separate suitcase for vacation books. (True story). I mainly use it when I go on vacation and it's absolutely worth it for that alone. However, I like it when I have the desire to start something new at 11:00 at night and the book store and library aren't an option. Also, although I like the Sony, I'd get a Kindle if I had my druthers.Melanie Jacobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02489615939726209573noreply@blogger.com
