I think the Kindle vs Real Book is all based on opinion. Personally I prefer a real book but it's what I like.

I think I would miss the feel of turning the pages of real books.

i prefer old book smell. p:

I think they would be helpful on a trip, where you are limited to the amount and weight of things you are bringing.

I llove to read on the airplane, but so many books are heavy.

any one here seen the movie or read the book 84 Caring Cross road?

I haven't. What is it about?

no

I have never heard of that book/movie.

No, I have not.

I read something above about books and ipads above... I prefer books, nothing compares to books. Especially old books. I love that scent that comes from a vintage book. :D

Haven't heard o' that one, what is it about?

Hello, Alba!

Hi Alba, I love your avi. Very pretty.

I've done better this power hour than I did last time. Even managed to use all of my spanners.

Sounds different.

I have a few spanners to use, but I seem to manage all right.

Thank you, Angel!

Hopefully I can get a few more seeds to sort of even out the number

-sneaks in and hides behind the couch-

A set is 51 seeds, correct?

Oh, I've seen that Gypsea -- my mother loved that movie.

Coming back to the thread and reading through. iPads let you highlight?? Most of the books I need for school are grad level or specific to my (hopeful!) profession, so it's sounding more like an iPad would be more ideal. I prefer books to reading electronic documents/books, but I also have a HUGE collection of books from school that we don't have room for and I can't get rid of.

I read a few of Lackey's books when I was younger and living at home. My folks love her, so we had pretty much everything right there. I miss that.

I do agree what an iPad and such would be useful for school. It does it annoying when you have to haul all the books around.

I've been meaning to read Mercedes Lackey, if that's who you're talking about.

you might have to download either stanza or kindle on an ipad to highlight, I'm not sure if their main reader can or not, but I know I use stanza on my itouch and I have been annotating Dante's Inferno a lot.
