Just how many books do you need when you go away?
One paperback is enough for me.

Re: Which do you prefer a Kindle or an ordinary book?
I prefer a book. I know it's less convenient but it feels like a physical companion for the duration of the story. The cover graphics become meaningful. The act of opening it up to allow its printed pages to transport you is an excitement that doesn't diminish.I tried an audio book once. I know the reader has to read clearly but it was so slow it frustrated the hell out of me. All the enunciations seemed so wrong too. I'll never try them again, unless I could speed it up from a 33rpm to a 45rpm!

I like Tony Robinson reading Terry Pratchett, but a lot of people don't like those because they are condensed books & they find his voice annoying. I have some of the unabridged books too, read by Stephen Briggs.

so when I was given a kindle it opened the world of new books cheaply.
