I might of mentioned this in a previous post, but I don't like books. I love the idea of books, but I don't like them in their physical form. Different sizes different weights, different formatting, and the like, all lead to be being unable to really get comfortable with reading books.

I know this seems a bit odd for this forum.

This discomfort with the actual physical nature (not the content) of books has led me to be frustrated with reading. I have (and buy) a small number of books, and I want more, but each time I try to get into reading the actual act of holding, flipping, etc. gets to me. And so I am here.

I actually like the ereaders simply because they are NOT books. They are one page ergonomic machines that extract all the things I like from books and put it into a shell that i could live with on a day to day basis. Now that copy of the Iliad is the same as my copy of The Inmates are Running the Prison. That makes me look forward to reading again.

I was wondering how many people on this board are like me in that respect? I also wonder how many people''s reading habit took a sharp upturn since they bought their reader (doesn't have to be 0 to astronomical, but how many were occasional readers to now constant book worms)?
