Yeah some people won't give up the look, feel of a book. I know where she's coming from. I was a tough hold out myself and I still at times will enjoy grabbing a good hardcover on occasion, pour myself a glass of scotch and head to the den for a couple of hours.

I love ereades but there are simple pleasures in life only the real thing will do.

But overall for everyday reading I converted big time.

OS/2, that brings back some memories. I loved that operating system. Much better than Microsoft. I use to run a BBS on an OS/2 box.
