It's especially good of me since I read a lot of fantasy and sf and there is a lot if good new writing that is published direct to ebook. It also allows for instant gratification rather than having to wait till I visit the US to pick up books. Finally, I don't have to invest in new bookshelves. So all in all, big thumbs up for ebooks
