As I got older, it was harder to see the small print in the cheap paper backs, and the hard backs got too heavy...
Then I found my Palm Zire72, and I started reading ebooks... In those days you could buy anything you liked... I used FictionWise... and I read a lot...
These days I get much pleasure out of reading the old classics, which I would probably never have done, if they weren't free on the net... You can buy some of these classics from the book store, but they are very poor quality and cost money.
