Ebooks - Do you use them?
Posted by Ed Hansberry in "CONTENT" @ 05:53 PM
Ebook readers have been out now for several years and have really failed to take off as much as I would have liked. You still cannot legally read Clancy, Grisham and thousands of others without lugging around paper.
There are however thousands of ebooks available. Books by Jack Welch, Stephen King, Jeff Kirvin and Michael Crichton just to name a few. Some so old they are in the public domain, others published simultaneously with the hard cover editions. Personally, I have not read a paper book in two years, and I read quite a bit. I am just now more selective since my choices are limited. Still, I've found some gems, books that the book stores wouldn't consider carrying, or bury so far in the stacks you'd never know they existed.
So, how about you? Do you prefer to curl up at night with your Pocket PC and read, or do you still prefer paper?
