To me ebooks are simply a matter of convenience. For that I like them.
But I will never trade that for a real paper book if I can.

Same with magazines. I buy a football magazine from the UK, but the stores here that DO carry it end up getting the latest issue one week before the new one is released in the UK. Now, I get them instantly, and for way less money ($6 per issue, vs. $15).

When it comes to paper media, I’m fine with magazines, but I’ve never liked books too much. A magazine, you can fold one page around the other and hold it comfortably. Books are a different story. With my tablet, it’s just much more convenient. Hold it with one hand and flick the page with the other.

I love the feel of real books. But … ebooks are convenient. What I like best about e-books, maybe, is not having to wait to have it delivered!

I’m not a big reader, the reason being is that I don’t like the feel of real books in my hand. I know it may sound like I’m being a devil advocate here but it’s true, I’ve never really liked it. I could read something on my PC no problem be it a book or what ever, but I’ve been waiting a long time for the ebook revolution and I for one am happy to see it finally coming to fruition for me to consider a dedicated device.
