I'm more adapt to having a book in my hand and I don't find myself relaxing being unable to turn a page or sitting up, reading computer text. A NOOK? Kind of okay. But reading a book feels more natural.

@jstark565 yea, but if they werent making money off ads, they would charge us

[jstark565]

@JOEtheHOE28 Youtube is own by Google. Most of the time, when you see an ad on a video, its because of A) the user is a youtube partner, B) theres copywrighted material on the video(music), I think its A in this case.

I wrote the same thing during summer school. it was an essay on the pros and cons of cd's books vs. paperbooks. Anykind of physical damange with a expensive cd, scratch, water, heat. However with a paperbook none phyical factors will have any effect on it. All you have to do flick your wrist and look with your eyes. My teacher totally misunderstood wrote on my paper "how can you compare a book the strength of steel'? Thanks Mr. Johns you dickhead.

Nothing feels more right than the thickness of the page between your fingers, but I do love my Kindle. Because of it, I have doubled my reading output this year. And with the youngest generation this will undoubtedly be their connection to the written word, and we must appreciate its ability to do so.

@Doggieworld3 Abso-freakin-lutely! I love my computer, laptop, itouch, and will probably like a nook or Kindle when I get one, but when I want to read a story, there is something a thousand times more effective about reading a it in a book than on something electronic. A book never runs out of batteries for one, and also I get tired of looking at screens all day. There are a lot more cons to e-books than paper books lol.
