I guess our understanding of how they will change our collective reading habits will have to wait for a while to be determined. For me, reading is a tactile as well as an intellectual experience, which is kind of dumb, but I love the feel of paper and the look of typefaces. Reading an e-book is very convenient at times, but it still lacks some of the elements that make reading, for me, a pleasure. Old dogs can learn new tricks, but it takes a while for this aging puppy.

In only 5 weeks I have gotten to where I would really rather read on the Kindle than on paper. I do agree with this author's aha moment. The ability to download a sample chapter and then a whole book basically anywhere anytime is fabulous. Elaine Norman, Oklahoma I love my Kindle 2.
