Disadvantage to the Reader....

jmdor · 11-07-2006, 02:34 PM

I keep browsing the Connect store to find cheap fiction to read, just because I like reading on the reader more than a pbook! My bookaholic-ness is getting worse....

On the plus side, I think I read faster on the reader than on paper.... go figure...

Same here. I can hardly contain myself.

What I've found is that I make more impulse purchases on fence-sitting titles I know I'm only going to read once. On night I picked up Lewis Black's "Nothing's Sacred", Al Franken's "The Truth (with Jokes)", and Steven Levy's "A Perfect Thing" knowing that a) I wasn't going to have to find shelf space for them, and b) I wasn't going to have to deal with disposing of them when I was done.

Both of those facts are kinda liberating...but scary for my wallet.

Told you! When you have an e-account somewhere it's hard to resist!
