I want the words to be on an actual page and not move around. <br /><br />I also don't want technology to develop and be able to simulate a book for me (fake textured pages - whatever the future holds), I just want a book please.<br /><br />Also, the Kindle adverts in the UK show only white, blonde pretty people.

I think my reading has increased 10x because I can check out books without having to actually get to the library during their nearly non-existent hours. <br /><br />For the bathtub, and for books I will want to read over and over again, I go with print. <br /><br />For first passes and bus reading and ease of use, I'll take the Kindle, every time. <br /><br />Sorry, lady.
