I have an iPad and have d/l apps for every book reader and d/l all my magazines on them now. I like it that way and as far as being able to use it my iPad will go back to where I left off in a magazine. I can easily just lay it and use the instructions to projects or print it out for a particular project if I want to.

Saves me from having so many magazines or books in the house.

Strange regarding iPad. I have the II and III iPad and they always d/l in color. Another reason I like it on my iPad is magazines always have online links for freebies or videos showing techniques talked about in these magazines and all I do is click on it and it starts playing instantly. No need to go online and search for it.

Most book readers and iPad allow you to highlight info or jot down notes so for me no need to make photo copies and write on it. I just take my iPad with me.

This may be a silly question, but how do you get your patterns from your I pad to print? I have a Android tablet, but I do not have a wireless printer,and have been under the impression that I could not print

I prefer "real" books too and I too take mine to be spiraled...so much easier to work with a flat book. And with book I can make notes if necessary.....don't know if can be done electronically...sure it can be, but easier for me to grab pencil and just jot.

I read books on my Kindle all the time but I have yet to buy a quilting book ...
tried some cookbooks before and found they were harder to use, and thought quilt books may be the same ... I'm sticking with hard copies, I want to enjoy them in full size & color !
