    Default Re: The Library Makes The Man

    Ah, Ebooks; light, portable, compact and convienient. So many tomes in such a small package and it makes you feel like your're holding a star trek padd without the pretentiousness or the privacy loss that you get with an apple product.
    I've been using the sony ebook for over a year and a half, mostly at college in my free time and when I'm walking for long stretches. I've read American Gods, The Book Thief, the Harry Potter books, The Hobbit, The Lightning Thief (and subsequent entries in the series) and all of the Song of Ice and Fire books on that beige/grey screen and I considerd it my most important items in my college life last year. Then I got onto a course I actually liked and convinced into buying a PSP so my use of it as realy realy gone to nil, mostly due to all the recent books I've read beeing either long sought after ones I wanted to get in hardback (Wise man's fear, Chathrand series) or spontanious decisions during my periodic romp through waterstones on my scenic routes home from campus (Ciaphas Cain, Lost fleet).

    I don’t know what it is but if it is over two pages I just leave it. It is like I get some kind of claustrophobia.
    Is that an Ebook that has a backlit screen or one of the electronic paper Ebooks?

    Being better than the worst does not inherently make you good. But being better than the rest lets you brag.
