As long as I'm being read I don't care if it's ink on paper or on whatever gadget they choose; I'm a complete literary tart.<br /><br />That's Not My Age and Very Bored - excellent that you can try Kindle by proxy so to speak. Think I might do the same and buy one for The Englishman.<br /><br />Mr London Street, sorry you didn't like What I Loved.<br /><br />Mwa, I totally agree, Siri is no Mrs Auster. <br /><br />xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02658858373848443540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717764352812681670.post-41235256262174153972010-11-25T19:17:58.444+00:002010-11-25T19:17:58.444+00:00I'm torn over them, in the same way that I sti...I'm torn over them, in the same way that I still don't download music, I prefer to buy the CD. However, Mr Bored wants one for Christmas, being the one gadget in the world he doesn't possess, so I shall have to see how I like it.Very Bored in Catalunyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07695203425270299420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717764352812681670.post-16355371394116019982010-11-25T11:44:53.210+00:002010-11-25T11:44:53.210+00:00I think I would have a Kindle if I was travelling ...I think I would have a Kindle if I was travelling a lot. My father should have one. I'm at home mostly, though, so I'm not getting one. Yet. No, I don't think I'm getting one. Not any time soon. (Anything to do with books is tempting to me.)<br /><br />Good choice of book by the way. It's funny. I knew her books before I ever heard of Paul Auster. He's still Siri Hustvedt's husband to me.Mwahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00954216492730746581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717764352812681670.post-64225449207999953002010-11-25T10:08:24.679+00:002010-11-25T10:08:24.679+00:00Best of luck with What I Loved.

So I'm not so sure how he'd feel about a Kindle - good for travelling though.That's Not My Agehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16052973075052114955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717764352812681670.post-76952389251964199292010-11-24T19:01:33.239+00:002010-11-24T19:01:33.239+00:00I have a Sony eReader and I read Kindle books on m...I have a Sony eReader and I read Kindle books on my phone, too. I also make regular trips to the library and book stores! I think it's possible to find a happy medium.

And whilst I love it, it will never replace books for me. It's kind of become an addition to books rather than replacing, and the books I tend to buy for it are the ones I like the look of, but I know won't be classics i.e. stay on my boookshelves forevermore.<br />After reading a couple of books on the Kindle in quick succession, I find myself CRAVING the feel ans smell of an actual book, and to this day can't go more than 3 books at a time K- wise before I need a paperback break.<br />Still well worth the money though, IMO. I've written a peice about it on my blog, if you're interested.<br /><br />xxx maddieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
