There's really no substitute for the experience of a real book.

I was in Uppsala, Sweden, two weeks ago and discovered a _real_ bookstore. I haven't been in one for years. Wonderful, beautifully bound (and not so beautifully bound) books from floor to ceiling and in piles on the floor. I still haven't learned to read or speak Swedish, and the owner wasn't comfortable with English, but I still had a wonderful time browsing and came away with a bunch of books. Maybe they will motivate me to learn the language!

And my Jetbook Lite and Dell Axim makes it much easier for me to read to a wide variety of places.
