E-book readers are simply great inventions

An e-reader is the size of a book. Check out kindle sizes. You can adjust the font sizes so as to make it better for your eyes. Plus kindle is not an e-reader which features a bright screen. You need to see one for yourself before commenting. You will most probably realize that you had a few misconceptions.

Even though you saw it you still judged them wrongly though and the way you commented was about them being large and about their screen - that is not with regards to what is or is not good for you but with regards to their specifications per se. I wonder how you can you say that they are large when there are very slim 7inch screen ones and small models. And I never said that everyone should have my opinion. I onyl pointed out that their size is small and can fit most handbags and the screen is not sharp at all. Plus you get to choose brightness, font sizes, page sizes.

I have been to Best Buy and Barnes and Nobel and had the salespeople show me all different sizes and how they work. Kindle was one of the brands we also looked at. Should have asked if we checked them out before making a misconception yourself. I didn't comment without knowing that they weren't good for me, still prefer the printed book. It is what is best for me, I never said it wasn't what is best for others.

I can still curl up on the couch or in the bed and read. I find it better actually because in winter I can cover myself with the blanket and simply press a button to turn the pages besides it is very simple to use, there is nothing complicated about an e-reader.

Charging is no problem. Just as I do with my mobile phone as soon as I notice the battery is low I just think ahead and charge it. It automatically saves where you stopped reading just like a bookmarking system.

I am sure e-books are fun; they are just not for me. I like the tactile feel of pages and the friendliness of a book; no technology. But you enjoy... everyone has a choice.

Reading can be more convenient than ever.

Yes it is extremely convenient to carry around. It made me love books even more because now I have an even wider variety and can afford to read some books which used to be a bit pricey.

Good one well, there are audio cd's for some books. I had listened to one, the Harry Potter 1. I just listened to part of the 1 st chapter. The reader was really good and it was engrossing. Maybe you could check those out.

Yes it made me love books even more because now I have an even wider variety and can afford to read some books which used to be a bit pricey.

I am the same way as you now. I have 4 books on my kindle almost 3 because I am almost done with 1 book now. All the books I got for my kindle we're free books I have not paid for 1 book for my kindle yet.

Yes that isa good idea too. However some people prefer less features so they would opt for an e-reader. If I could afford an ipad I would do like you

My model is quite simple and I prefer it taht way. I can read e-books and I can also listen to music and view photos or videos.

Yes they are quite affordable in relation to other gadgets and very convenient. The ipad is too expensive in my opinion. If only these gadgets were less costly I would buy them all!

Yes I agree with you. An e-book reader is lightweight and it is very convenient when travelling. If I have a 'paper' book I would still read it but I love the e-reader because it is convenient and often cheaper. I admit I cannot buy books regularly especially when they are quite expensive.

That is what I thought. Some do have a bright screen but there is the optin to lower the brightness or even make the font bigger. Then I suggest you check out one of the kindle models which has a really faint screen practically like paper. It is not bright at all and there is not backlight. In fact I have to switch on the light to read just as I would do with a normal book.
