Are erearders any good?

Amazon Kindle is the only one who can give you a great reading experience. Because the screen doesn't harm your eyes, like a normal screen does. It's just like paper. I had one (I foolishly ruined it) and I am planning to buy another how soon I will have some extra money. I read a lot on it and I started to prefer to use it instead of a normal book. I can decide on the letters size, make notes, underline phrases and than see just those. There are a lot of tools that improvre the reading and saves you time. And of course, the money you give on books. I also find it wonderful because my bag have considerable smaller weight. I take books with me when I go out, to read in the bus or when I have some time in the park, and only one is never enough. I use to switch between different kinds of readings.

Believe me e-readers are way different from actual books.I had not even finished one book in my pad.And yes there are mountains of free books on the internet.I'm Chinese and I can give you a site containing more than 1000 readable pdfs(From Dickens to Dan Brown) if you want although it's illegal :)

I heard that the kindle and the nook have done a good job at making the screen resemble ink and paper. You can get free books, but not exactly the ones that you are looking for. The good thing is that you can store your books if you ever want to go back and read or reference them, you don't have to pull them off the shelf. But no, there is nothing like actually holding a book in your hand.
