[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]

Kindle Vs Sony
[Read the article: Kindle: Amazon's e-book reader is here]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]If you are a reader it is the functionality that counts not ,within reason,the superficial appearance.

ebook
[Read the article: Opus]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I am old enough to remember how annoying page turning seemed to me after getting used to just scrolling the scrolls. I got used to the page technology and now, even though page turning is much noisier,I appreciate not having to keep my books in an ark.
I experienced a similar transition when I adopted ebooks for some of my reading.Yes,the click is ,at first, a mild distraction but then so was page turning. I love reading and also use audiobooks and paper books depending on the subject matter,my location and my activity (sitting, walking or riding the subway). To a reader each medium has its place in life.
