My sister pointed out to me that it is perfect for daily commuters--subway and bus riders who want to read every morning and evening, but don't want to lug heavy books in their bags. I appreciate this.<br /><br />But I posted about this not long ago (please <a href="http://southerncitymysteries.blogspot.com/2009/12/e-reader-how-dost-one-marketeth.html" rel="nofollow">click over</a><br /> and see what I and my readers had to say), and the marketing angle really bothers me. Don't you ever just notice what someone is reading? How do you do this with a Kindle or a Nook?<br /><br />In addition: book glue. If it doesn't smell like a book, it's not a book.<br /><br />However, if it is the way of the future, I suppose we must find a way to get along...<br /><br />Great post!<br /><br />Michele<br /><a href="http://southerncitymysteries.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">SouthernCityMysteries</a>JournoMichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11170364981958685438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2436693488493674576.post-9346095283626573982010-01-25T08:02:46.568-07:002010-01-25T08:02:46.568-07:00I don't mind e-reading because I do most of my...I don't mind e-reading because I do most of my editing and reviewing of other author's work online anyway. I would love to read on the go and be able to switch books without lugging around. Now, if only we could put our novels on and be able to edit on the go.<br /><br />annAnn Elle Altmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02192162600274764681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2436693488493674576.post-64604139014257408292010-01-25T06:51:56.432-07:002010-01-25T06:51:56.432-07:00Bernadette,

We never fail to buy something for each of us and run into people we know there. I love that.<br /><br />I am tickled to here from "the land down under" cyber friend.<br /><br />AF HeartA.F.

Most of the books on my wishlist are not available for me to buy on the Kindle (and that's the only mass market eReader yet to make it to our shores) so I'm still supporting the stores.<br /><br />As for the future I suspect we'll see big changes in the coming decade - I doubt there'll be a giant mega store offering thousands of titles to be seen in the medium-term - but I like to imagine that there's still be a place for a store - even if it's just a place to go and get recommendations from knowledgeable staff, meet authors, meet other readers, buy one's ebooks. While I love hanging out at book blogs there's nothing quite as nice as going to a physical place where books and reading are revered.Bernadettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07641617609801125707noreply@blogger.com
