    Yes, a book in the hand is nice, but this is portable and I still enjoy reading. :-)


    As much as I love the feel of a good book, reading on my phone is much
    easier on my eyes. Having all of the free Kindle book sites trolling
    Amazon for free reads is great, I have found some wonderful authors I
    wouldn't have otherwise if I'd had to seek out and pay for their
    books. I've bought their followup books - suppose that's how it's
    supposed to work!

    That library lending system is great -- sounds like an appropriate use
    of DRM. :)

    My latest fixation is audiobooks. I've got an audible.com account and
    am downloading some books I've read before and enjoy them on the road.

    I've tried a number of times. I find I get distracted and tune out then
    have to keep backing the mp3 up to listen again. I want to like them so
    much because let's be honest radio has a very small playlist and I get
    bored. (Listen to the radio for my entire 60 hour work week, plus at home
    etc etc. Basically we always have a radio on)
