I've read more since I got it and I've picked up some absolute bargains too - Sarah Crossan's The Weight of Water was 99p a few weeks ago.<br /><br />I still buy paperbacks and I hope I always have that option, but I'm a full convert to the e-reader.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02046492434737362097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2670369139890322768.post-29879359140118675692012-06-26T11:30:41.569+01:002012-06-26T11:30:41.569+01:00I love my Kindle.

I read a comment recently which said Kindles are to print books what elevators are to stairs.

Is it worth buying a Kindle if you already own an iPad (as you have both I'm assuming you think it is).<br />—Will'mWillmhttp://www.williammcmonnies.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2670369139890322768.post-60538704868488128602012-06-25T18:32:16.472+01:002012-06-25T18:32:16.472+01:00I love my Kindle.

I still read print books as well but these days I find I only buy print books if 1) it's a particularly beautiful and special book; 2) illustrations or photography are important components (though if I get an iPad, that won't be an issue); or 3) it's not available in Kindle format.<br /><br />As I'll be living in a motorhome for a year, the Kindle is a lifesaver. I simply won't have room in the motorhome for more than one shelf-full of books, and those will all be books of maps, walks, botany, wildlife, trees etc. So my Kindle will be my portable library and it still astounds me that I'll be able to carry up to around 30,000 books with me on something little bigger and thicker than an envelope.Crowehttp://boneland.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2670369139890322768.post-43554383430745623222012-06-25T18:11:36.320+01:002012-06-25T18:11:36.320+01:00I don't own one, but have a few of the keyboar...I don't own one, but have a few of the keyboard style ones in my library (they already look archaic). Some of the kids love them, some of them question why we have them in the first place, but I would say it's an alternative, and any alternative to get kids reading is welcome.<br /><br />Personally, I feel it would benefit me most as something to take travelling with me. I love the feel of a book in my hands, using a bookmark to physcially see how far I've got...but I'm a dinosaur obviously.<br /><br />I hope printed books won't die out or I could be out of a job! I'd like to think there's enough dinosaurs like me who much prefer paper books, thus keeping them alive.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17152835382989120467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2670369139890322768.post-86600342534970855102012-06-25T16:40:31.572+01:002012-06-25T16:40:31.572+01:00I love my Kindle - and I've read a lot more si...I love my Kindle - and I've read a lot more since I got it, mostly because it's just so easy to click and buy the next in a series. <br />I wish it was in colour though, because I love just how COLOURFUL books are, the covers anyway, some of the artwork is STUNNING. That's one pleasure you can still get on the iPad, a lovely, enticing bookshelf - the spreadsheet-like list the Kindle offers can't really top that.<br />Sadly, I do think Print will die out in time though. My children would rather read on the Kindle or iPad, and only want paper books because they can't take the e-readers into school.Trudyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14695589129968602716noreply@blogger.com
