Hi from Louisiana
The wife and I are retired traveling in a motorhome. I now have time to read and just enjoy what's left of life. Reading is just one of those joys. The beauty of electronic books is no weight, no space taken up and I can find 'em anywhere I stop. To those who upload the books, thank you.

Good to have your company, Ratcheson. You're dead right. Ereaders would be ideal for a travelling couple like you. And I think the tired old moan that they're 'not like the real thing' is something you'll soon realise has no merit. Sure they're not like treebooks ... they better. More comfortable, more practical, clearer to read with adjustable text size -- they don't so much change the reading experience as comlete it. Good luck hunting for the right reader for you. There's plenty of generous, unbiased and sound advice on offer here. Bon voyage. Neil
