My brother is a book collector and reseller, and he's been sucked in the ebook thing. I have one, but I have an utterly stupid rule that I'll only download books in the public domain, for available otherwise for free.
My Kindle is second generation, and has just cr*pp*d out. Won't hold a charge anymore. I downloaded the app for my iPad, but oddly (no, stupidly, my word for the day), I can only select titles from Amazon to download to my iPad from my laptop. Ridiculous.
I don't think I am at a point where I can happily give up a book. I do all my important writing longhand. You can tell the mood I'm in by the size of the writing, whether it's legible, and even if I use a crap pen or not. I am not one to change up my font size, style, or color of my computer typing, and I find it difficult to read. Frankly, I tend to not read emails that are wacked out like that.
And I am terribly attached to my small collection of author signed books. I can't see that changing.
