dandannieldanok Posted 9 September 2008 Share Posted 9 September 2008 Are they the things that were on Breakfast News the other day, you basically read books on an electronic screen? If so, yeah they look pretty shite. I don't see the point to be honest, if you want to read a book then get the real thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The People's Hero Posted 10 September 2008 Share Posted 10 September 2008 You can't download the 'real' thing for free though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkzzz_ Posted 10 September 2008 Share Posted 10 September 2008 I have no problem with ebooks, I think they are good, I have downloaded a lot of them for free, most of which would set me back £20 plus. Long live (decent) ebooks.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexikokopops Posted 10 September 2008 Share Posted 10 September 2008 You can't download the 'real' thing for free though. But you can go to a library and get them for free. Plus you don't have to stare at a screen while reading it. I do enough of that at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do enough of that at work. I take your point but... a) from the point of view of your eyes, staring at a book is not a lot better for them than staring at a screen. b) I owe the local library quite a bit of money. You're right on the portability aspect though. You and I should be a crack sleuthing duo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and I should be a crack sleuthing duo. kindle (the future) has a nice staring-friendly screen (as, i think, do the sony ones) - it also connects via whispernet, so you can download anywhere you can get a mobile connection... obviously this doesn't exist outside of the USA just yet, but wait and see, you can also subscribe to newspapers, magazines osv.
