I enjoy the various typesets, etc so for me the ebook will never replace the real thing. Yes, taking 5 books with me when I travel is kind of a pain, but to me it's worth it.glen johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10933844960103335614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1356373677604323473.post-61531199828008806332012-07-18T18:33:34.650-04:002012-07-18T18:33:34.650-04:00I have debated purchasing a Kindle, but I spend mo...I have debated purchasing a Kindle, but I spend more time listening to books rather than reading. Of course, the one thing I HAVE bought a lot of lately (in book form) are tons of books on the craft of writing. Those are filled with highlighting, dog ears, etc. so I can always go back and use them for reference.<br /><br />It makes sense that electronic devices would come in handy for traveling. What is an Acer tablet? And Nancy, excuse my ignorance of all things technical, but would you need a Kindle if you have an iPad?Dawn Dixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03476466437552136087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1356373677604323473.post-34110547471496114612012-07-18T18:25:14.456-04:002012-07-18T18:25:14.456-04:00Dawn,

I spend hundreds of dollars a year on both. <br /><br />The Nook is great when I'm traveling and for books that might be out of print in paper edition.<br /><br />I'm going to try to publish traditionally, too. Stay with your dream.<br /><br />Deb TurnerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1356373677604323473.post-84706023087937483432012-07-18T12:53:30.425-04:002012-07-18T12:53:30.425-04:00I have a Kindle and an iPad, both of which I take ...I have a Kindle and an iPad, both of which I take when I travel. At home, I'm inclined to read print books since I have shelves full of them and enough to last a lifetime. I still like holding a book and being able to look at the cover, but the convenience of a Kindle when on an airplane or ship cannot be beat.Nancy J.
