My beloved Sony PRS-505, now retired, is resting unused in a drawer. From time to time I power it up, and when the battery is low, I give it a recharge. I keep it because it's beautiful and just in case my PRS-T2 dies...
I have an eleven year old boy who likes reading. Up to now, he has always read pbooks. I've been wondering if I should introduce him to e-reading.
I haven't been able to make up my mind. I have this old fashioned idea that, for children, pbooks are better than ebooks. I like the idea of my son building his own physical library, with the authors he likes (his taste is way different than mine) and I would like him to have a look at my childhood books sometime. On the other hand, I see that he doesn't treasure his books the way I used to. When he is done with a book, he puts it aside and that's it... so maybe he is ready to jump on the e-reading bandwagon.
