Another e-reader convert

JimmyH · 10-10-2014, 11:21 PM

I've loved books since I was a kid and have been reading since I can remember. Paperbacks, hardcovers ...... whatever I came across that interested me. For books that I wanted to keep I leaned towards hard backs and had no interest in digital reading. I never thought I could get past the tactile feel of turning pages and a book in my lap.

Since I've got so many books I'm literally tripping over them, and I discovered e-pub and kindle, I've begun reading books on my android device. What I lose in that tactile feel I gain in living space and convenience. In many cases my choice of reading material is either free, or at a nominal cost. So with a Kindle on pre-order, I'm searching around to see if I will wait for it, or perhaps cancel and go with a kobo hd, or something else. Nice forum y'all have here.
