it's hard to beat the smell of a new book.....
I am a major book lover, i even love how a book smells and turning the pages!!!
Perhaps they could come up with an 'aroma function' for the Kindle

I voted kindle. I got mines at the start of the year-ish. And I've been reading more since I did. The books are often cheaper on there and like everyone else says its the storage thing. I hate having books around the house as they take up lots of room. I'm the same with cd's, I never use them anymore either. I think eventually that books will be phased out much like CDs. I like the features, that you can see the percentage you are at in the book and the dictionary as mentioned above. You can also read reveiws about the book before you buy and sample them aswell. I love mines!!! Plus it's lighter in your handbag![]()
Ooooh yes lolly I love the dictionary on it, totally forgot about that feature and the fact you don't have to turn the page over to mark your place or use a bookmark. Perhaps i'm dicing with death, but I love reading with it in the bath, which means my books no longer end up damp or twice the size as when I went in. Plus when ive had enough of reading I can geek in the tub... wow that's a lovely vision for you all now isnt it!!:Scared::Scared::Scared:
I was in the bath reading last night aswell! I don't use my phone in the bath coz I'm frightened I drop it!
I'm a college librarian and I HATE the smell of an old dusty book. I have an e-reader (Nook). With my Nook, I can
My Nook is WiFi ready so I can access the internet from a WiFi hotspot. Can't do that with a stinky old book!
- borrow books from public libraries (with a valid library card)
- pre-order books
- purchase books without having to leave my home
- purchase books, magazines and newspapers
- download countless books (imagine carry that same load around with you!)
- upload pictures and video
- listen to music while I'm reading
Kindle, same thing, I thougt I'd hate not holding a book, i hate holding a book now! Just upgraded to a kindle fire but would recommend the normal kindle (I gave mine to my hubby but I miss it).
Ah well you see now Lolly, put some weight on like myself and theres not much chance of the phone falling between you and the side of the bath![]()
I also HATE holding a book, especially when sunbathing. I love that the kindle is easy to read in bright sunshine and much easier to hold no matter what page you're reading.I hate holding a book aswell. Especially when you were getting to the end it was sometime awkward to hold lying in bed. So a kindle is easier for this too!
