This question really should be:

What do you like best about your Ebook reader device?


Now to answer your question.........

I love the knowlege I'm carrrying every book I 've bought/downloaded with me, whereever I am.

I love the built in dictionary.


I love being able to change the size of the words with just a touch of the button.

I love to turn the reader off, then having it open to the same page I left off when I reopen it.

I love being able to read a really heavy book, (ie The Sherlock Holmes Omnibus) with a device the size of a paperback.

I love being able to read in bed, without cramping or trying to get comfortable.

I love being able to read library books, legally, on it, knowing they will simply 'turn off' when the lending period is over.

I love the looks of my reader.......which happens to be a Kindle!
Yeah. What she said.

I would also add:

I love that it's so easy to have what I want to read right now even if it's 3 A.M., or I'm not at home, or not near a bookstore or library.

I love that when I finish a book, I can start another one without dislodging the cat or putting down my tea.

I love that when I hear about a book that sounds interesting I can send myself the first chapter to read at my leisure before I decide whether to buy it.

I love being able to carry my recipes around with me so when I'm at the store. If I want to know the ingredients for something, they're right there. I also like that if I see that asparagus looks good this week, I can search for "asparagus" and get all my favorite ways of cooking it.

I love not having to cram more books on my already overladen bookshelves.

I love having the extra room in my luggage.

Most of all, I love that I've been able to stop thinking about the book as an object and just enjoy the story. It doesn't feel like reading on a gadget. It feels like reading.
