I love reading books. I love turning the pages and just holding the book. I have a thing about my bookmarkers. But I've been thinking about trying the Kindle. You can download e-books, it's easy to carry around. So what do you guys think??

I am one who love to feel a book in my hand and turn the pages. Always have and will, but with all this talk on the Kindle, I have considered getting one. The only thing with that is that I would hate to get one and they change up down the road which is bound to happen. I was looking at the Kindle 1 when the Kindle 2 came out and figured I would just wait. but I feel it would save on paper.

I understand your need for a library; My late father left an impressive library of books, some I know have to be worth something by now because he have some pretty old books but my mom don't want to let them go. I have one myself as well. But in the age we're in(digital), I have been considering one for a while now and may get it in time.

I just bought a Kindle today! It hasn't arrived yet, so I can't tell you what I think of it... but I'm very excited! Unlike you, I hate books! I hate having to hold the book open to read! It's so annoying! It feels so awkward in my hand, and I have yet to find a comfortable way to hold a book! Plus, I always lose my bookmarks while I'm reading! They fall out of the book! Then when I'm done reading I can never find where I put my bookmark! So to me, books are just such a hassle! I am so looking forward to switching over completely to electronic books! It just seems so much easier! Plus it will save a lot of trees!

I can understand what you mean, sometimes I can't get quite comfortable either. But I still like books. I haven't bought or tried a Kindle yet but it's deffinetly on my list. Yes please, when it arrives and you try it, please let me know how you like it. I'm excited to get one.....:o)

Trickiwoo,
When you get the Kindle and all, I have a discussion on the Kindle where I ask folks to give me their impressions on the Kindle; I want to get one myself in time; So I hope that you will be able to get there and let me know your opinion when you can.

I love to turn pages instead of downloading the book online or whatever. I love books and having them line my shelves. They are like my guilty pleasure LOL. I like to cuddle in bed and read a good book. I don't like electronic books can take that away.

i prefer to turning the pages than e-books. when turning the pages i had so good feeling that i did not want to stop reading.but when i was reading on the computer, although the book is very interesting but reading too long time lat feel too tired to stop it.
