Well, I firmly believe we MUST have a new word for interpreting the content of an e-reading device.

After all, TV got its own word -- vegetate.

I really only wanted to throw that one in. I would NEVER equate reading to vegging out in front of a TV. And I'm not being critical, cuz I watch tv (and play WoW) much more than is probably reasonable. I just happen to like stories, no matter what the source.

But reading is reading no matter what the medium, as has already been stated several times. It keeps the mind active and may even prevent or at least postpone Alzheimer's -- I forget which.

But if some term surfaces that differentiates reading an e-book from reading a p-book, then that's just the way evolution evolves. But PLLLLLEEEEAAAASSSEEE don't call it Kindling. The term is like sticking your finger down your throat, and would be enuff to make me NEVER buy a Kindle.
