I've always thought a day without reading is like a day without sunshine.<br /><br />I have a e-reader, but I still prefer real books instead of electronic. Photos in non-color display e-books aren't very good. However, for traveling, a e-book is very convenient. Also, if you don't have a lot of room to store books, e-readers are good.<br /><br />I got one knitting magazine in electronic format, but still prefer real magazines.ebostonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15431333438044883447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008395538596780882.post-91183253691482560242012-01-11T17:39:45.889-06:002012-01-11T17:39:45.889-06:00There's nothing like coming across a book you ...There's nothing like coming across a book you haven't read in a while, and falling back into the story as you thumb through the pages. I don't think an e-reader will ever be able to compete with the tactile pleasure of book reading. Just like the amazing computer generated graphics out there will never really compare with the depth and brilliance of oil paintings, for example. They're just completely different media expressing the same words or sentiment. <br /><br />Looking forward to the book review!cobaltandindigo (Molly)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14430684903258505214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008395538596780882.post-61628563118424227802012-01-11T10:09:45.441-06:002012-01-11T10:09:45.441-06:00I, too, always read the acknowledgements first, al...I, too, always read the acknowledgements first, along with any "about the author" or "author's notes".<br />I have not yet succumbed to the lure of the e-reader. I like books as physical objects - the weight of them, the smell of them, the feel of the paper. Having my books around me is how I know I'm home.sandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16101171238586395335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008395538596780882.post-42829464340831841292012-01-11T08:46:24.039-06:002012-01-11T08:46:24.039-06:00While e-readers have a place it isn't in my ha...While e-readers have a place it isn't in my hands as a regular option. I find it hard to read them for any length of time- I love to fondle books. Each is an individual while they all look the same on the reader. I lived across the street from the library starting at age 9 and it was heaven.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05906902614487167431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008395538596780882.post-28381078481879551432012-01-11T07:17:35.223-06:002012-01-11T07:17:35.223-06:00I have many thoughts on E-books, not any of them g...I have many thoughts on E-books, not any of them good. Besides the fact that when your in the middle of a pettern, it says to refer to page 38. When you get to page 38 it has nothing to do with what you are working on, so you have to go through every page trying to find the right part. If you have an issue with the battery, or something else you loose it all. It is just better to buy a BOOK, the touch, smell, and keeping forever is better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008395538596780882.post-53683426495452481942012-01-10T21:27:42.273-06:002012-01-10T21:27:42.273-06:00I think a lot of knitters and readers overlap!

I agree with everything you said (except the part about reading the last page of a book first!); I, too can't go to sleep without reading at least a little bit.<br />Glad to find out that you are so in synch with me!Jersey Shore Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00930114031410850867noreply@blogger.com
