Even though I like tech gadgets etc, I'm still not convinced when it comes to reading books on a screen.

We have about 5 bookshelves full of books and they look good for one. Also holding a book, the smell etc, not worrying about how to treat the book as such, just throw it in your bag or case and you don't have to worry about it.

It's also good to browse book shops, car boots, charity shops for some good bargains as well as some good online deals eg 9 books of the True Blood series for less than £10.

As for having a huge catalogue on Amazon to download doesn't work for me much, I have Itunes and I've never downloaded a single album in MP3 format yet for the same reason, I'd rather own what I buy in solid form. (And better quality).

I'm sure they are good and will suit a lot of people, but it's still early days yet, I'm sure a colour one will be out before xmas or umpteen different upgraded versions as well. Maybe it is the future, if that's the case I'd be one of the last to be converted I'm sure.
