I think they certainly have their uses (I'm thinking of two of my relatives who have pain issues and long medical waits, and they found their e-readers wonderful) but as long as I can hold a real book in my hands that is what I'll be reading :)jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-18082344957326973532015-09-23T18:37:24.931+01:002015-09-23T18:37:24.931+01:00It's been a long time since I read an actual b...It's been a long time since I read an actual book - I'm all about the audio & e books these days.

She is an author who started out with huge promise. I don't know what happened because her last three have been just almost unreadable. <br />Toss it. <br />Life is too short.<br />And instead of hating you, I love you all the more!<br />Ms. Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09776404747858099919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-29652008690994332812015-09-23T09:52:20.000+01:002015-09-23T09:52:20.000+01:00I would love to break in to Ms. Soup's treasur...I would love to break in to Ms. Soup's treasured collection of Latin American writers, which I can read in Spanish...I had the same experience with Fowler's novel, so you aren't alone there.ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11376645220662546020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-50814731333016685222015-09-23T07:28:32.488+01:002015-09-23T07:28:32.488+01:00Thanks for the link about e-books, I’ve only ever ...Thanks for the link about e-books, I’ve only ever bothered to read one on my tablet and it was such a performance I’ve never repeated it. The link page also took me to an article about Carmen Balcells, a literary agent to many well-known Spanish language writers; I’m an avid reader of Latin American writers.
