Do you read ebooks?

Talk about just about anything else that is non-gaming here, but keep it clean

Hah that's awesome. I think it would be a tougher sell to have the scent of cats though, not sure you'd want your kindle smelling of cat piss ammonia and little box nuggets with a side of hairball and misc stomach contents. The moldy or new book would be safer. :P Then again...who can resist bacon!

I actually hate to get dead tree version books now. I have an iPad and a Kindle Keyboard. I love them.

It's just too convenient to get ebooks, get them wherever I go, take notes on them freely and search them.

My leisure reading and studies have been moved entirely to ebooks. And I don't care about books as decoration either. Too much dust.

I tend to carry my paperwhite with me when I got out since it has a sturdy case it happened to come with when I got it used at half price books. I really cleaned up that day with the 50% off coupon as $35 got me the paperwhite and a $30 leather magnetic latch red fold over case that auto on/offs the thing. I also fall asleep with it reading it every night too in bed. Currently slowly trying to finish off Pharoah from David Gibbins, a British adventure story author and it's the last(to date) in a series of stories. They're good, but I prefer David Wood's similar but I think better done stories which eek out a better chain of things and even has two side story sets of books from the 2 leads origins and now another secondary character she got a book too. Once I finish that one book Wood put out a few I missed from that series of side story books in the last 6 months.

Also fun are the alt-history books I really dig and New Gingrich has a nice set for the Civil War and WW2, plus the Revolutionary War. There's also Robert Conroy which has a long line of books of that style which cover WW1, WW2, and some other periods too.
