Reply To: e-Readers

I don't like 'em. I admit that I am biased as I'm in book publishing, and I find e-books a threat to my livelihood.

With that being said: I sometimes bring home PDFs of a book I've worked on or someone else in the shop has to read the entire thing, and I just don't like reading it on the computer screen. I can, but I don't like it. I'd much rather have a book in my hand and kick back in my recliner. And the same thing with magazines (which may go the “e” route). When I read my Sports Illustrated or Playboy mornings while on the throne, I'd much rather have the actual magazine to read. I'd hate to have to bring in an e-reader :)
