I really enjoy reading a book but my DBF was so excited one year b/c he found something for me that would be a real surprise. It was an E-Reader. I like books b/c if I buy I pass around to mom, sister, SIL's, people at work. However, when I'm traveling it is easier to take the E-reader b/c it's small and convenient.
I really think they are great for cookbooks or quiltbooks because you can take them with you and have the ingredients for dinner or a quilt project right at your finger tips and won't forget anything. I haven't actually done that yet but do think it's a great idea.
Thanks for the tip on libraries and e-books. I'll have to find out if my library does that.
