I guess e-fish are the wave of the future, if your fish get sick you wouln't need to post on MFK just get Anti-Virus softwear.

I'm not sure if it's possible, but have you tried reading 'War & Peace" by Tolstoy, on Kindle? You may need to purchase several batteries to read it. It's hard bound cover makes for great in-flight reading on international flights.
The smell of the pages and the feel of a physical, tangible object like a hard bound book just make reading it worthwhile and pleasureable.pacu mom;4895255; said:
What type of books are you putting in your big yard sale and when have you planned for this catistrophic event? On the serious side of things, will there be reference books of any kind? You have sparked a definite interest here. I've found some terrific reference books on several topics of interest at yard sales. Please PM me about the books, pacu mom. Thanks.
To the OP, my most humble appologies for the brief derail.
I can see the advantages of the e books for text books and things like that, however for me the smell of the ink, the turning of the pages, weight of the book all adds to the whole experience. I also think it's sad that the E books are the same price as the printed ones.
seems some of you are refering to reading online....you know what's way different then reading from a device meant for reading books in text format. That's like comparing listening to a cd through a jukebox to listening to that same cd ripped to an ipod. i could never sit at my laptop and read through a book but i could sit down with a kindle or nook no problem.
my opinion, i do both. i perfer hardcovers and alot of the books i'd want in hardcover are only available in store when they first come out (take up more room then soft cover) and i don't like the small print or the wait. i like the way hardcovers fit in my hand on or on my lap, if i'm already going to inconvient myself with small print, might as well use an eread device anyways.
