I started reading ebooks on my palm, because it was back lit, and I could carry a huge amount of books on that one tiny device...

The other day, a workmate of mine moved my bag and said 'Geeze, your bag is heavy!' I responded 'yes! It would be... There are nearly 400 books in there'!
I then showed her what e-books are, how they work and where to get them...
