I think it will be some time before we go Star Trek & have screens for everything...or almost everything. Picard still read paper books. <br /><br />We'll just have to see :)Eleni Konstantinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12410262752761104440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5649422955156175144.post-57249261734393801542010-06-04T17:48:01.517+09:302010-06-04T17:48:01.517+09:30I love real books too, but when I was caught unexp...I love real books too, but when I was caught unexpectedly waiting at the dentist for my son the other day, I remembered I had several e-books on my iPhone! Wow, I felt so... techie! I do love my iPhone.

I haven't swooped on an iPad yet--I'm afraid I might want to buy one on the spot.<br /><br />Great point about the possibility of some e-readers being obsolete in a few years time. I can see why e-readers might be handy but I love the feel of real books.Vanessa Barneveldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09761556191210621130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5649422955156175144.post-11385250088306832922010-06-03T22:36:06.387+09:302010-06-03T22:36:06.387+09:30Definitely on my wish list Eleni!

I like the fact you can also type on it (as opposed to other e-readers) and it imports and exports to/from word (which is what I use on my computer). Makes it very compelling.AJ Blythehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04529233142099749005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5649422955156175144.post-7851837032952934402010-06-03T21:44:59.054+09:302010-06-03T21:44:59.054+09:30Hi Eleni,

Has anyone else brought up that significant disadvantage of the iPad? <br /> <br />One of the lovely things about real books is that you can pass them on when you're finished. Share the joy (or disappointment) around. An iPad changes all that. <br /><br />I saw one the other day. I feel like we're witnessing an historic moment - the beginning of the end for real books? Sort of like when cars first came on the scene and most of the population was still using horeseback? Too long a bow to draw?<br /><br />ShayneShaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13367222807939693847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5649422955156175144.post-77570132062153052322010-06-03T20:27:21.836+09:302010-06-03T20:27:21.836+09:30Oooops I should have waited a few days ha - ;-)

Is that the one you were talking about?<br /><br />Good luck with the e-reader hunt.Eleni Konstantinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12410262752761104440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5649422955156175144.post-64210976278396173062010-06-03T12:46:40.899+09:302010-06-03T12:46:40.899+09:30Thanks for posting Eleni,
