Have you ever tried using ebooks rather than paper books? If so, what did you think? If not, is it something you'd be interested in trying?
I got a little handheld PDA about this time last year, and since then I've been using ebooks more and more. The online purchase convenience is awesome, and I love being able to carry around my dictionaries and my novels wherever I go. :)
I really expected that I wouldn't take to it, that I'd miss the feel of paper books, but now they're starting to feel strange to me, I've gotten so used to reading on my PDA.
What's your experience?

Ebooks are nice alright, but there is nothing like good old paper book. You can feel it, you can sence the smell, you can feel the magic. I've tested ebooks they're nice, if you are on the go all the time and can't afford to take alot of books with you then it is good to use ebooks. Otherwise if you have the time to sit and enjoy a nice paper book there is nothing that can compare to it.

Hmmm. From the few times I've tried to read eBooks - mainly online - I just didn't lke it. I hate staring at the computer screen longer than I have to, and I would much rather read a paperback or whatnot. It's just my personal opinion though. Maybe someday if I get a PDA I'll change my mind, like you have!
