I did the same for my sis for her birthday. She's never stopped talking about it...she emails me and never fails to mention how much she's enjoying her 'Nook'. She used to practically live at the library, but now she doesn't miss DTB's at all.
Actually seeing in ereader in person, rather than hearing about it as an abstract concept, changed my mind. I hadn't thought I would want one until a relative got one and gave me a hands-on demonstration. I bought one for myself not long after and now I wouldn't want to be without it.

I brought my sister an ereader and loaded it up with books for christmas. I am more than likely going to get it thrown at me christmas morning as she turns her nose up at non paper books. But she loves true crime, and these are impossible to get books in paper so she will just have to suck it up hehehehe

I did the same for my sister, and there is nothing better I could have given her!!

Give a man a book and he'll read for a few hrs, give a man an ereader and he'll read for a lifetime.

Plus, learn to scour the internet in search for books free or not. Search for e-titles that have been read years before, that were in print but not now, but hope springs eternal.

Keep up and try and read all the free e-titles that links are presented at this forum.

Collect (hoard?) more titles in your e-library that there is a good chance that they can not be read by yourself in one lifetime.

Just to add a few!

Well, as long as he has a life-time's supply of batteries or pays the electric bill on time.

But....yeah....fundamentally, I agree with you.

Thanks. I paraphrased it from another (old) saying. "Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day. Teach him how to fish and he'll eat for a lifetime."

True. Nice signature by the way. Of course I could be biased. I've always been partial to Charles myself.

You know, I do too, just got a card in the mail, but since I'm now working for myself they don't give me eye-care coverage........

Sorry to hear that you're having that problem KennyC. I have a yearly check (due to my diabetes) to make sure all is ok. Not fun to have your eyes dilated but it's better than it used to be. For a long while I was getting it done every six months.
