Ultimately, the only advantage the real book has over the ebook is you never have to find a place to plug it in to recharge the batteries. Oh, and the real book remains functional after stopping a bullet. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

It kind of depends on how big a bullet. It also remains functional
after 8 hours without electricity.

2010/2/16 Bruce Dayton bkday...@daytonphoto.com: Ironically, I just had the ebook discussion with someone two days ago. Having started reading ebooks on my palm pilot some years back and continued it with readers on my phone, Bought a Sony reader in September. The only paper books I've read since then are ones unavailable in electronic format. The only gripe I have with eReaders are the aggressive DRM systems. I went for Sony over the Kindle for that particular reason. The Sony seems more generic and less tied-up. In fact, Amazon seem like a literature equivalent of Rockefeller to me. the conversation was just about like he brings up here. The tactile feel of the pages and curling up in front of the fire... As to curling up in front of the fire, I think the eReaders are just as nice. For more extensive novels, it's a lot easier to hold and curl up with in the first place. The tactile feel of the pages... well... Can't say I miss it, personally. And scent of paper can be anywhere on a scale from pleasant to nauseating. No books smell the same, and many fall short of pleasant. :-) In the end we agreed to disagree. Tastes differ, of course. Whatever the device, the content is still king.

Charlie Brooker's Youtube vids has been receiving some welcome OT attention on the list recently. Apparently he can also hold a pen, and does so for the Grauniad to poke at a couple of PDML hot buttons in an amusing way: ***WARNING: CONTENTS MAY MENTION VINYL*** http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2010/feb/15/charlie-brooker-ebook-c onvert -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

I've been reading documentation, and book's on a laptop for years, I
don't think an ebook reader would improve the experience all that much.
The only advantage would be having a library in your hand as far as I
can see, and I've got that already. I do prefer books with pages I can
turn with my hand, I just find it more convenient to read that way.
