On e-Books:
- no Overdrive lending to Kindle in Canada
- loan periods and renewals are more difficult due to availability with eBooks. I can't guarantee getting through a book in two weeks
- many titles I read are not available as an eBook (and certainly not in my library system)
- paper works better in sub-zero temperatures which is half the year here
- my book budget necessitates using the library a lot (see most of the above reasons)
- outside of long books, I still kind of like paper (heresy I know)
- I find I generally pay better attention to paper (psychosomatic probably, but it is what it is)
Executive Summary: eBooks for my reading list have just not proven to be convenient or affordable in most cases.
Executive-Executive Summary: CANADA.
I know it is heresy on MobileRead, but it is what it is. I always look for eBooks that I can lend to my phone (Overdrive works on Android), but I don't like reading on my phone that much and I am too lazy to want to download the ePub to my device and strip the DRM just so I can then copy it to my Kindle to read it. I've thought about buying another eReader, but I don't want any more devices.
