Fantasy Dreamer's Ramblings

Hi :)
I've been debating about getting an ereader too. I read ebooks on a computer screen like you used too and wondered at the difference.
You've convinced me.
I think I'll wait till next year though when the price drops some more.
Love from Canada

Awesome!! I love my ereader. I use it for all those e-published books out there. SO many of them I would not have read if it weren't for the ereader. I just can't sit and read at the laptop for that long.

But like you said, I could not give up my print books. I need to buy them.

Congrats on your new purchase! I like reading books on my iPod Touch. Mmm. color. :)

Ah yes, the old analogy "Never Say Never"... ;)

However, in this case I think you will be pleased you broke your vow.

I too will never give up my print books but do love my e-reader. It allows versatility and access to books I wouldn't otherwise have read. There are so many now published in e-book format that I don't think we will ever see in print. :)

Hmmm. I've vowed never to sign on to Twitter... We'll see. lol

Have a great weekend Donna.

I LOVE my Sony Reader.... I am addicted and it is a plus since the e-books a little cheaper it gives me a good excuse to by more ;-)

welcome to the dark side - hon and i am glad you are loving it..

I would be lost without my Fitzoy and i am still cringing at the price i paid for it ... but it was so worth it for all the reason you mentioned...

Hi RkCharron - I really had my feet stuck in the mud about getting an eReader but I'm so glad I have one now. Let me tell ya, the relief on the eyes - nice!

Hi Amy C - I love getting paper books! The feeling of just having them, that song "Hooked on a Feeling" comes to mind. :)

Hi Shadows - Psst, my hubby gave me his iTouch the other day because he got himself an iPhone. Maybe I'll check it out for ebook usage. But I will say, I let the size of the Sony Reader screen vs the iTouch.

Hi Lea - Twitter, hmm...think of all the fun we are having out there with book discussions. Real time book talk. Just think on it. ;)

Hi Book Junkie - I haven't really paid attention to prices of books vs ebooks but I'm sure I'll get to know where the ebook bargains are. Yep, that's what I need, just another excuse to buy a book. Kewl!!

Hi E.H. - Ooo, you named yours! I like that, hmm, need to go ponder some names. *grins*

Congrats, I would love an ereader but as it seems Germany isn't ready for this invention. I heard a few rumors about plans to bring them on the German market. I can't wait for that to finally happen...In the moment I read all the ebooks on my HTC Touch Diamond. Would be great to have a bigger display. But I would accept an IPhone as well ;-)
Have a nice weekend!

ooo, pretty. Yeah I have the same reasons you did for not getting one; mostly my cheapness and the fact I do have a little netbook I can use. So now all I need is some lovely soul on twitter to sell their one to me for a good price. *looks around hopefully*.. nothing.

I have ereader on my Iphone and I love it! Check out fictionwise.com. that's where I get all my ebooks - some are very cheap!
I too continue to buy books, but now I only buy the ones that I want to have and keep. Ebooks allow me to read authors that I normally would not have picked up before.

Anyway - well to our side!

Glad you are enjoying it! Also forgot to tell you I like the new site design. Makes mine look way boring. Maybe I need to start browsing for some blogger widgets to spruce my blog up a bit.

Hi SusiSunshine - I didn't know Germany didn't have eReaders available over there. Someone needs to get after Sony or another company with a stick, to fix that quick.

Hi Janicu - I lucked out, didn't I? Sometimes whiny pays off. LOL!

Hi Debbie - Thanks for the tip on fictionwise.com. I need to start figuring out where I can get ebooks for the best price.

Hi Jeff - Yes, I owe you many a thanks! I am very happy with it. My husband keeps asking "So, have you worn it out yet?" LOL!

Thank you on the blog compliment, I really appreciate it coming from another web developer. :)

Yay!!

I love mine more than I thought I would:) I want to name mine too! Can't think of anything good yet;)

Hi Mandi - Fun! Let me know what you name yours. I'm still thinking about it.

Donna,

I love paper books.

However, I have shelves and shelves of books, so my ereader really saves space. I still buy all my favorite must-have authors in print form, but I find ebooks let me take more risks on unknown writers without having to drop a lot of money (or deal with loss of bookshelf space).

Fair warning, though. If you have the misfortune of getting a horrible book, DON'T chuck your ereader at the wall! That's an expensive habit. ^_^

Hi Keith - LOL! I can honestly say I have never gotten so mad at a book, that I threw it. Guess I've been lucky so far. I'll keep your advise in mind for if and when I do come across a book that gets me angry enough to throw it. But then again, I probably won't remember at the moment of anger. ;)

Haha you totally make me laugh Donna.

I have really contemplated getting an eReader. I can't sit at a computer and read an eBook. It drives me nuts. I still do it though.

I didn't know whether to shoot of a really expensive Kindle and have access to all the books through Amazon. Or do a Sony eReader. I think I'll cave in and get a Sony because I really don't want to come up with 400ish dollars for a Kindle.

Besides I'm like you, I love love LOVE my paper books.

But I want to save trees too lol
