My kindle opinion
I downloaded a book from amazon.. and i'll admit, at first i couldnt get into it. It just seemed so weird, how you changed the page, the feel of it etc. But then i started getting used to it.. i saw its benefits.. how easy it was to read a book you'd just found out about, right there and then.. no going out to the shops. And im sorry to say i havent read a paperback since, even though i still need to finish 'the man who broke into..'.And I havent since used the library, which the OH loves because its quite a walk so i get him to drive me, and he stands there feeling abit out of place until ive chose my huge selection (were both quite young).
Are you converted now? Do you mix it up with both?

It's always easier to curl up with the kindle than a book.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not sure I'll ever entirely give up buying real books. Nothing quite beats buying a new book and immersing yourself in the paper pages, before adding it to a no doubt already extensively filled bookcase - but I definitely think the E-Book reader has it's advantages.

For paper-back books that are all the same price (a lot of paperback mysteries are this way) regardless of whether it's a physical book or an eBook... I'll go ahead and get the paperback version.
I love my Kindle, but I am still getting used to not having the actual book to hold in my hands and put up on my shelf whenever it's done. But, I'm content with knowing that in the future I'll be able to be proud of both my physical and eBook libraries.
