But not everything is available for it yet, and it can be pricey to get everything you want (I usually shop at a used book store and am not used to paying more than a couple of bucks per book.) I have devised a way of reading in the bathtub, though, without fear of ruining it!

However, I do like books and the fact that I can easily share a physical book with others.Melissa (Books and Things)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00074452958853212024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7390019422100466668.post-1369872133418523532010-01-27T07:26:20.055-08:002010-01-27T07:26:20.055-08:00I have to say, I think eReaders are a great idea -...I have to say, I think eReaders are a great idea - for some people. I wanted a Kindle when they first became popular but the more I thought about it, the more I decided I didn't want one. Like everyone who has commented here, I love the feel of an actual book in my hand, love flipping through the pages and smelling the paper. Plus, I get the majority of my books for free or very, very cheap and having to buy the books that go on the eReader turns me away from that. Maybe if libraries start lending out ebooks, that will change but for now ... I'll still with my actual books!Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08998863035244619820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7390019422100466668.post-65812388698944376472010-01-26T19:14:52.796-08:002010-01-26T19:14:52.796-08:00I love of the feel of a book in my hand.

I am intrigued by ebooks and am dying to see the nook. What I love about the nook is that you can share books with others. Anyway, true readers like us will keep walking down the aisles to make our selections...I don't think that will change.kikiv68https://www.blogger.com/profile/14889668034475327486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7390019422100466668.post-46344157613125804212010-01-26T15:47:27.680-08:002010-01-26T15:47:27.680-08:00I have a love/hate relationship with ebooks and er...I have a love/hate relationship with ebooks and ereaders. I think they are practical and aren't wasting paper but yet a book (a solid book in your hands) is yours to do with. There are all these restrictions of having an ebook. I like knowing I can give the book away to a friend or donate it somewhere or put it in a used bookstore. I like having the artwork of the story in front of me and touching the pages and that awesome smell of the book itself. <br /><br />I try my best to only buy used books and I do occasionally buy ebooks. I like being able to do both. I don't want to chose and glad that I don't have to.Nicole Settlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06205918337710478398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7390019422100466668.post-9196230361236844872010-01-26T14:49:36.907-08:002010-01-26T14:49:36.907-08:00I think nothing will be able to replace the paper ...I think nothing will be able to replace the paper backs.
