Hi,

(11-21-2010, 10:44 AM)Kylearan Wrote: So, as a tangential question, I'd like to ask who buys e-books regularly, and who still prefers to read the majority of his/her books on paper?

I do not buy e-books, but I do download them from Progect Gutenberg. I have a free program that I got from Palm (I think) that converts from text to the Palm reader format. I have a few documents on my Palm (Magna Carta, Rights of Man, Declaration of Independence, Articles of Confederation, Constitution and Amendments, Gettysburg Address) and usually two or three books. I read these when I'm waiting somewhere, or when I'm in bed, or sometimes just when I have nothing better to do.

I prefer paper books, but some of the things I've looked for are long out of print (duh -- they're in Gutenberg). Especially books in other languages.
