Re: Real books vs e books?
I have tried to read from my laptop or tablet and am not happy with either. I'd like to join the trend as my wife and most of our kids and grandkids use their electronic "books", but I guess I'm like the "old dog and new tricks".Re: Real books vs e books?

Re: Real books vs e books?
I like books and e-books, but e-books take up less room in the house and in my holiday luggage and don't need to be tidied up or dusted. They're a lot cheaper than the same version in paperback and I can get them "delivered" instantly. E-books mean nobody has to cut down trees to make the paper for my books, too.Re: Real books vs e books?
Re: Real books vs e books?
Real books. The e-books you rent. The minute I heard Amazon (and other purveyors) was surreptitiously deleting paid for books from those readers, I wanted no part of that scam. If I want to 'borrow' a book, that's what a library is for. If I want to pay a fee to borrow a book, that is what ILL is for.Re: Real books vs e books?
Re: Real books vs e books?
I have never paid for an ebook. In the days gone by before the Kindle I was finding free books from various online sites and reading them on a Psion.Re: Real books vs e books?
Like Emjay I go for the free ebooks and download them. I still have a lot of actual books that I'd not part with. But my real love these days are Audio Books, I also download free ones to my desk computer. In the Winter I like to do online jigsaws and listen to a book at the same time.
