I still find myself on Amazon purchasing real (used) books at a cheaper price, however. What I do like from SONY is the romance bundles they offer. I recently bought the "makeover bundle" for $20. It had 10 books it in! I loved it! I would recemmend it to anyone, as long as they are getting something with it. When I bought it I got 200 free classics and $50 in ebooks. Totally worth the $300. JMO. I have a SONY eReader and love it for the most part.

Then I got given a few to read from a friend. Then I won a fair few and am finding it difficult to get into the book whilst trying to read on a laptop. As I hate starting a book and not finishing it I am now investigating ebook readers :D Will be staying tuned to see what you make of the Kindle as it is one of those on my shortlist.

Carly, I was just looking at ebooks, but I decided not to sign up for the free subscription because it just didn't sit right with me...I love the feel of a book in my hand and turning the pages...it also causes less eye strain for me...I don't think that I would be as riveted to the story if I had to worry about how to work a gadget so that I could read what I want...granted I don't know that much about kindle, but I could never see myself buying it...btw...one of the joys of packing for me is fitting as many books as I can in my luggage...I usually have more books than clothes...but I couldn't leave them...I am attached to all my books... promo here...I Just finished reading the Chandler series by our one and only Carly...I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED THEM!!! My fav was The Playboy...if anyone here hasn't read them yet, go for it...you are in for a treat...be prepared to be touched on an emotional level...by the time I was done, I felt like I knew the characters and they were a part of my life...I know...kinda crazy... that's it for me...I still have about 50 end of term comments to write as well as finish grading my Spanish final exams...talk to you all soon... Peace and love, Paula R. Jules, I hope that you feel better soon…

Like all the other comments, I like the feel of it in my hand. I truly do judge a book by its cover. I look at the cover, then I check out the back. When I'm reading, sometimes I find myself looking back at the cover, as a way to once again picture the hot hero. Do you still get the book covers on ebook readers?
