I have discovered how to enjoy ebook reading, and at no cost. Thought I'd pass on my method to help anyone else reluctant to read on a 15-inch screen, unwilling to pay for an expensive handheld electronic device, or who, like me, is a lifelong paperback fan.
I simply downloaded to my laptop the free Mobipocket Reader from
www.mobipocket.com
By opting for 2-page display and the font of my choice, I find the same pleasure that paperbacks give.
