If you'd asked me 2 years ago I'd have sniffed at the thought of an ebook.. I loove the smell & feel of a book and there's nothing like coming home from the shops with a new and anticipated read... took me all of 10 minutes xmas day 2 years ago to decide I'd never buy a paper book again. It's not just the conveniance of being able to take 100+ books in my pocket away on holiday, or the larger print late at night when my eyes are tired or being able to buy a book at 11.50pm on xmas day and be snuggled up in bed reading it before midnight.. for me it was a life saver last year when I broke my hand and couldnt hold a "proper" book.

My sony packed up and left the building earlier this evening not surprising after 2 years of heavy use (I read a complete book most days) so now hubbies home I'm off to the 24 hour tesco in a mo to buy a new kindle
