The only reason I bought a Kindle was cuz I accidently ran arcross the Mobi collection of Edgar Rice Burroughs. As an ERB fan for decades the thought of carrying a large part of his works around with me was irresistable.
What keeps me loyal is the reading experience and the dictionary. If my eyes are tired, or if I'm reading in dimmer light, I can increase the font and read comfortably. Can't do that with DTB. I was suprised how much I use the dictionary. I used to guess at the meaning of words based on context. Now I easily look up the meaning of the word and I get a clearer picture of what the author is telling me. My first look up was fillip. I thought it was a tug on the ear. I was excited when I learned that it was something I grew up getting from my sisters (flicking someone with their finger).
