[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 6287049, member: 9037"] I used to be anti e book until I actually started reading them. I read on two devices my phone and a tablet that cost 55 dollars. Now granted my tablet only has four hours of battery life but since I read at home on it it is no big deal. My roommate has a Nook and she gets days of battery life. There are many reasons for my liking e books. My eye sight has had issues. I just had cataract surgery so hopefully I will see some improvement but I do have aging eyes and I need bright direct light to read books . I have found that it is easier to read ebooks. I can enlarge the font and read in the dark. Since I am now sharing a room with someone who is easily disturbed by light and I am a night owl this has been helpful. I have had to downsize my living arrangements and that meant weeding my huge collection of books simply because of lack of space. Having stuff on ebooks lets me keep more books. I did keep in hardback books I could not live without in dead tree format. I also suffered a major fracture to my back in 2010 and I have found holding heavy books to be impossible for any length of time. Having the Pathfinder core book on PDF helped a lot the hardback is very heavy. I like the Pazio offers both. I like a hard copy of gaming books but find PDFs more portable and helpful when DMing. I have both the Kindle and Nook App on my telephone and tablet and I download a lot of free books and very cheap books. It is also a good way to get a book you will only read once. My roommate loves Regency romance novels and she used to buy them then when finished donate them to the library or toss them. Now she can buy them and they don't take up room in the house. We back up all our copies on our own systems so we won't lose them if Amazon or Barnes and Noble try and take them. We manage our ebook in Calibre a wonderful program that for examples converts Kindle books to Epub so they can be read on the Nook. Yes you can have your reader damaged but that can happen to books too. I had the horrible job of helping my friends clean up after hurricane Andrew they lost every book they owned and they had a lot of first autographed science fiction and fantasy novels. I hope dead tree books don't go anywhere but I do think ebooks serve a purpose and will stay around. [/QUOTE]
