I do agree that, when travelling and for reading fiction a can understand bringing an e-book.

Now I read what I want, and I love it. I missed out on a lot of enjoyment over the years!<br /><br />I love e-books for that very reason. One of the things that pushed me to get my Kindle was a lack of shelf space--not at the stores, at my home!

Now I have a job, I purchase most of them and still have managed to have hundreds of books in print and ebook formats. I don't know how that happened.

I love having the whole world of books open to me and so easily downloaded to my e-reader.<br /><br />Here's another quote from him I like: “Monsters are real, and ghosts are real too.

From the space perspective, and also in terms of reader choice. With self publishing, it's not just what the big publishers put out there any more, and blogging etc allows more under the radar writers to be discovered.Nick Wilfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03841776353790635132noreply@blogger.com
