Lore Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 because it's cheaper? because some people doesn't have space to have too many books? because it's more ecological? there could be many reasons to do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tnspieler1012 Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 My mom has a kindle and they're actually pretty cool. Its not like a computer screen, it doesn't hurt your eyes, you can enlarge the font and its much lighter (weight) than most books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violet Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 I've never actually tried one of those E-books before. I guess I'm kinda old-skool when it comes to reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Rose Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 E-book readers are good to take on holiday where you can load it up with books to read when your on holiday, instead of having to carry around the weight of books you only have to carry around the reader.

It's better than carrying 10 books around with you, it's better for the environment, and they don't really cost that much, you will save money compared to buying a whole bunch of books and having the money add up.
