I've been having a change of heart about e-books. Much as I love the real thing, I have really been enjoying reading through ibooks. I don't like reading on-line on my main computer, maybe it's something to do with the set up, but curling up on the sofa with my ipad has been lovely. I like being able to change the font and the font size, I like the little bookmark feature and that it tells me how many pages are left in the current chapter. I really like the fact that the next part of a series I've been reading is available to download now rather than waiting until August for it to come into the bookshops (and it's cheaper to buy online). I love the back lit feature, so even if the room isn't brightly lit, I can still read clearly. Best of all, I'm going on a trip this weekend, and I'm taking 5 books with me that aren't going to weigh down my hand luggage.
I'm not giving up my beautiful hard copy books, but I definitely have room in my life for some very convenient and practical e-books.
