I can also use search functions in the ereader to find passages of text within that library in my hand. I couldn't be happier if my butt was a flashlight. Yet, I still want my ereader to provide as many benefits of the printed page as possible. |
Have you ever moved with a large number of books? My back hurt over a week and my doctor had fun at my expense. Books have a more haptic experience but I think an e-book reader can give you some of the experience.
