The amount if complaints about paper books makes it sound as though you are all going through torture. A little perspective please! If you have an eye condition for instance and find reading from paper difficult then that is another matter, but reading a p-book is not the horrible chore it is being made out to be.
I suppose I could happily read nothing but paper books, but not really. Holding the thing and font sizes are really only minor issues. The main issues for me with paper books are storage(no place to put them) and availability(local stores don't have what I want.) So rather than go through the trouble of ordering books and paying ridiculous shipping charges and waiting for them in the mail, I go the ebook route which is easier and more convenient.
