***When the first horseless carriages appeared, don't you think the forums were full of the same questions?***
Right you are, Geezer. On the side of the horseless carriage in the forums of the day was a British Member of Parliament who famously predicted that, without it, London would lie under over one yard of horse manure by the year 1915.
As with the internal combustion engine, electric light, television, technology is adopted at the expense of charm. But we can still ride a horse, eat by candlelight, entertain ourselves on the banjo if we choose. And an ereader doesn't preclude the enjoyment of a treebook when the fancy takes you.
My point is simply that you sacrifice nothing by giving a reader a try. If you find it's surplus to your own personal requirement, you can return it to the shop or sell it here. As I mentioned earlier, I wish there was a rental system so that those who are undecided cold give it a shot.
Good luck. Neil
