With paper books, I get the chance to get comfy on a sofa and lose myself in the book.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, staring too long at a computer screen isn't good for the eyes. But, my point is that I get more fun reading a paper book. The old-fashioned way rocks!Josettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16398849417612962089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18884029.post-79610382321996709952007-06-09T09:04:00.000+10:002007-06-09T09:04:00.000+10:00I'm a papergirl too.

An Ebook Reader is a different story altogether. I can see myself reading that way. Still, nothing beats reading a print book. :-)Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18884029.post-74582085228967714792007-06-02T06:44:00.000+10:002007-06-02T06:44:00.000+10:00I prefer to hold my books in my greedy little hand...I prefer to hold my books in my greedy little hands.
