Ebook Reader - To be or not to be
I am not the gadget types. Being in San Francisco, I am still surviving with a non-smartphone. I believe that’s proof enough. The ebook readers (nook and kindle) though have me impressed quite a bit. To have a book available at the click of a button, to be able to choose which book you would like to read at any given time and to turn pages electronically with a touch seems pretty cool to me. With the holiday sales on, even the prices are no excuse. On the other hand, there is indescribable joy in passing through the aisles of Barnes and Noble, eyeing each book closely and picking out the ones to read first chapters of. The sifting of the picked books into categories: Not my kind, buying now and buying later. The dating of books with a signature to open years later and marvel at. The folding of page ends and the stacking away on reading as an accomplishment. Do authors get royalty for ebook downloads? I think I am just going to stick to my real books. Wat say?
