bookworm64 I consider eating while reading a very bad habit -- but I love to do it! In fact, sometimes I wish I was reading more, but I don't want to risk the weight gain. What I need to do is to find some low-calorie snacks for reading. But they are no fun.

bookworm64 Tangible, definitely, although I am a person who has constantly gone back and forth across the fence on this one. I even once owned one of the old Rocket eBooks (anybody remember those?). Portability and ease of use are advantages for eBooks; however, until...
