Also there are tons of painting ( all kinds, you name it ) tutorials on YouTube right now. And you can SEE the techniques, to learn them, not just have some electronic voice trying to "teach" you how to do "underpainting" or glazing, or whatever verbally.

And re reading, I'd rather hold a REAL book, with pages, than some electric device.

Preach it.

"And re reading, I'd rather hold a REAL book, with pages, than some electric device."

Same here. I waited a long time to get a Kindle because I preferred my books to be hardbacks or paperbacks. I keep a lot of the historical books I read, so I'd prefer them to be something I can put on my bookshelf, and then refer back to easily if I need to look something up. I basically got a Kindle so I wouldn't have to carry a lot of books with me when I travel. I'm usually reading four or five paperback/hardbacks at the same time.

The only time I use the Kindle is when I read in bed at night. I have at least two books going on that at the same time. It was also easier to use the Kindle which has its own light source for my bedroom. I have a ceiling light, and a lamp on my nightstand, but the lamp isn't that great to read regular books with while sitting up in bed. I didn't want to have to use the ceiling light, then be bothered having to get out of bed to turn it off before going to sleep.

Same here, though I read in bed on an illuminated Kindle so I don't have to turn on a lamp. Even those little lamps for night reading scatter enough light to keep my wife awake.
