I love sitting in my living room chair with a big mug of tea (day) or glass of wine (night) and a hardcover book. But it took me exactly no time at all to get used to my Jetbook Lite! Seriously, I downloaded a free ebook from Baen by one of my favorite authors and read it straight through! It was wonderful.

I read -- the medium is secondary. I do most of my reading on the JBL these days, but I still pick up some books at a local used book store, and I just checked out a book at the library.

I have discovered one advantage to the ereader vs. the conventional book. I wear reading glasses, and it's convenient to increase the font size on the screen. This also seems to help my reading speed and comprehension, since only 3 or 4 paragraphs are on screen and I don't get distracted by text on the next page, etc.

Have fun!


EDIT: (Smacks self on head!) Geez! I forgot another huge advantage! Just got back from a week's vacation. I had no trouble packing literally hundreds of books for the flight -- took no more room than an SD card -- and once I settled back in the sunshine I wasn't limited to just one or two paperbacks!
