I prefer the satisfaction of turning the pages of a real book. Nothing better than laying it down open to the page you are reading and getting a fresh cup of coffee or a beer and reloading a pipe and settling back and enjoying turning the pages.

I don’t disagree. And, that is what kept me from getting one for the longest time. I love my Kindle for travel and the ability to adjust the size of the text has been really helpful as well. I still love the feel of a book though. Nothing like it. : )

We wholeheartedly agree, Red, which is why we weren’t that interested in purchasing an iPad, or Kindle, or NOOK. Although, when traveling these devices are quite beneficial. We used to haul a lot of books w/us during vacationing abroad. This device would make traveling a lot easier.

Thanks for your comment.

Best Wishes

I thought I would miss the page turning, and I still keep 2 or three paper books going, but I love my Kindle. And I have to “push” a button to turn the page, and I can carry 20 books with me everywhere without any effort.

I agree on all counts. But a Kindle is convenient when on the move - waiting in a doctor’s office, traveling, etc. Compact to carry - just don’t let it disappear into TSA clutches. Anywhere you’re going to sit and wait.
