With the announcement that Borders will be filing bankruptcy and closing over 300 stores, I got to wondering if I was part of the problem that may send books the way of the dodo.
I love to read and hold a hardcover book, flip pages and just fill its weight. However, when I travel via train or on a plane, I have found my Nook (from Barnes and Noble) ereader http://www.barnesandnoble.com/nook/index.asp to come in very handy. Now that airlines are charging for every piece of luggage, the electronic reader allows me to save space in my carry on that would normally be devoted to magazines and one or two books (depending on length of travel). So, now I have the best of both worlds, but am afraid for the written form.
Whichever ereader you choose, you will find it to be addictive. However, when I am curled up on the couch sipping cocoa or tea, I like the snuggling down and flipping pages in a good old hardcover. Being a visual person, I have chosen the color Nook and am very pleased with all of it's capabilities and compactness, along with a bit o color.
If you have chosen to mix the world of hardcover and ereader, let me know. Or if you are a diehard, and love the smell of a new book, let me know, too. Also, please pass along any interesting reads.
Peace and love,
