Hi everyone :-)
I am just sharing my personal experience. I used to read lots of novels when I was young, but much less since I started working. I used to spend more time surfing on the web than reading a book. On my 40th birthday, my best friend offered me an ebook reader. That was a revelation. So easy and pleasant to use, so many books we can store!
I have started with reading all classic novels. Unfortunately there are lots of ebooks awfully formatted on amazon, what a mess.. some that I bought I just did not read them, too awful paging. I started thinking that this reader was a bad present from my friend! Hopefully one day I managed to find on amazon a reliable editor ("Atlantic Editions"), all their editions have a perfect layout. I have read Twain, Wilde, Austen, Shelley... currently reading Dickens. When I will have gone through all American and British classics, I will devour French ones. The novels I like reading are usually 600 pages ++, and that was heavy to manipulate while in bed. With the reader it's so confortable. I was relectant to technology till last year - and I understand those who prefer paper editions, but now I'm converted. I've never had books of my own at home, my flat is too small, I used to borrow them at the library. Now I'm able to keep all these magnificient novels in my little reader, it is just great!
