Yeah, I don't want to rush the books at all. It's just that I also don't want them to drag on forever and ever.

It's interesting, I think at times the text formatting can really affect the speed at which I read. A few weeks ago I finished a decently-lengthed novel over the course of about a week. The text was a nice font, had some nice spacing and margins. Then I moved onto a different book whose text was really tightly spaced, small font, etc. I've been moving much more slowly in that book. And maybe it just feel slower because there's much more text per page.

I wonder if the ereader, with adjustable font and spacing options, will allow me to at least feel like I'm making progress where in a paper book I would feel like it was a complete waste of time to even try to start because I could never finish it. I guess we'll just have to see!
