I get fairly bad eyestrain, so I've been reluctant to spend even more time looking at a screen (since I spend my days writing on one) but the fabulous Kiki Lon was showing me at the last conference that the e-reader is much more gentle on the eyes than a computer screen. Any thoughts on that?Rachel Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200504088343160284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-62571204414964037372010-03-10T12:44:57.760+11:002010-03-10T12:44:57.760+11:00Hi Nikki --

And then I read your radical words about e-readers and how you don't miss your print books! Picture me hyperventilating! LOL <br /><br />Seriously, I can see that I'm going to have to stop my stick-in-the-mud ways and try this new technology. After all, I'm doing a lot of things that were way outside my comfort zone a couple of years ago... like blogging for a start! ;)<br /><br />Roll on the new stuff!<br />:)<br />SharonSharon Archerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06836969154744451542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-27783050067164395432010-03-08T17:56:25.278+11:002010-03-08T17:56:25.278+11:00Hi Tracie --

I LOVE it - but it has drawbacks - I'd like a bigger screen and the iPhone battery runs out too fast. So while I'm a convert - I also need an eReader.

And though I live reading from paper, I've been itching to buy an ereader for quite some time now.<br />My first buy after this year's conference is an ereader!! I think I spend enough hours in front of the computer without reading from it too!!Mel Teshcohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12945507690555119380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-29206914851864553992010-03-08T07:59:32.402+11:002010-03-08T07:59:32.402+11:00Oh I hear you Anna I hear you.

I'll admit to going through some of my books and parting with some. I realised that when I got here I couldn't do the same and hubby bought me a Sony e-Reader for my birthday. I feel in love with it too. So for the same reason as you I can have lots of books but it won't weigh down the luggage or there won't be mountains to bring back home when we do come back.<br /><br />I agree that until you have one, you don't know what it's like.Nicki Flocktonhttp://www.nicoleflockton.comnoreply@blogger.com
