The Nook at B&N looks pretty tempting. What about Ipads with all these functions? I wonder how book publishers and packagers will deal with hard cover books in the future once everyone gets used to carrying around a lighter library. Meantime, I like all my books even if they are either too heavy or the print too small. Yes, paper is very pleasing to the touch.

Even though it's not my favourite thing in the world I can see the appeal of an e-Reader.<br /><br />However, in my little opinion, there's nothing that can replace the feel, smell, heft, and promise of an actual print book.Katrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18293316104653990391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1082017598352869243.post-14124707124522049782011-01-09T14:51:57.356-08:002011-01-09T14:51:57.356-08:00I shopped at B&N yesterday and almost bought a...I shopped at B&N yesterday and almost bought a hardcover for $24.99 until I pulled out my iPhone and found it on Kindle for 9.99 instantly.<br /><br />I think I'm the kind of shopper that's killing bricks and mortar bookstores.<br /><br />They need to wake up and smell the electrons!norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10974949441702282418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1082017598352869243.post-34321013109530809012011-01-07T18:19:18.630-08:002011-01-07T18:19:18.630-08:00I'm happy (as a writer) for folks to read more...I'm happy (as a writer) for folks to read more no matter how they do it.

I only have two complaints: No pretty novel covers and I can't use my Kindle while I'm running on the treadmill. But there are so many perks. I was waiting for a book to come out and I downloaded it to my Kindle seconds after it did. No wait at all! Plus, when I'm reading at night and I'm snuggled in bed, I can rest the Kindle in my lap and only pop out of the covers to turn the page (meaning press the button). With print books, I used to try to hold the book from under the covers and I've lost my place on numerous occasions. Still, I love print books, too. I'm glad to have both options.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1082017598352869243.post-49793178541295868602011-01-07T10:26:09.895-08:002011-01-07T10:26:09.895-08:00My biggest thing is downloading e-galleys from Net...My biggest thing is downloading e-galleys from Netgalley!
