Paper books are so powerful to me, I need them around.
But I still want my dad's Sony reader though... |
Ohh, me too! And that's why the lounge will be filled with them, even though I've been reading electronically for ages... And also why I just can't destroy books, even though the cover is ugly and I got them for free...

Taking a paper book and turning it into an electronic version?
Magic! (hidden under a lot of hard work.)

I rather liked doing it. I haven't done all my books, but a few. Though, I do most of my proofing when reading the book. As I have a touch screen (and a WM device), I can highlight all I want while reading. And when I'm done (or I feel I've enough mistakes highlighted) I'll go back to the source, update it and create an updated book again.
