I find that using my Kobo is easier than a book because it takes less space, and I don't have to hold it open. Reading on the computer can bug my eyes, but the Kobo never has. Also, I can get free books with no funny smells or squished bugs with the Kobo. And I've run out of room for keeping paper books, pretty much.

i've found i only buy books for series that i really enjoy (Vampire Diaries, Dune, A Song of Ice & Fire, the Kinsey Millhone series) - the rest i get from my library. i love my library too. =)

All my books are ones I have or will read several times. lol But I've avoided libraries since that four year battle with bedbugs that I had.

(and i really have tried reading things on my tablet or on the computer. i like printed out copies much better.)

I love printed books. I have boxes and boxes of them that I haven't yet unpacked... I need to work on that.

You can get bedbugs from the library?!?
In that case, I'm not in such a rush to get a card for the local library...

Oh, thank you Tam, now I'm never again gonna read a book in my bed! XD

Ugh, don't even...I fought with bedbugs a couple semesters back; that was horrible.

I've been thinking of investing in some type of e-reader just because I'm tired of having to get rid of books every time I move. And also because I have no more shelves for books but I don't own nearly enough of them.

E-Readers are WORTH it! I love my Kindle x3

I just wish the book formats were all the same.

Kindles are all Mobi format where Nooks are epub.. I forget what the others are.. and then you have PDF formats. @-@

[withoutwords]

The initial lump sum to buy the e-reader is what's putting me off. I realize I'll make it up by not having to buy a fourth copy of Lightning, but still. $100-300 is an awful lot of money to me.

[Yeladim]

Kindles play pdf, don't they?

[Demonskid]

yes all e-readers can use PDF but not all books are put in PDF formats =( its sad

Thanks!
<3 It's called "Pallas Athene" - it was a welcome gift from Espy. <3

It's a "Special" item. Goodness knows I could never afford it.

Also really loving those wings, SolarCat!

Pallas Athene's an Anka Egg RIG item, and also from the current one,w hick means it's probably 3000 Au max. But you can still get it from the Egg in Archaic.

Eeep. Sorry for being scary, guys. But they LOVE paper. They think it's the best place to hide out ever.

My Kobo mini plays epub and pdf, and cost only 75 dollars CAN. It fits in my pocket, but is big enough to read easily. And the screen's lovely, it's never hurt my wimp eyes. It's kinda teeny to view pdfs on comfortably, but most books come in epub. Including all the free ones at Project Gutenberg.
