I really hate the days when handling a paperback is out of the question, nevermind a softcover or hardback. Heavy, dusty, cumbersome, painful...

I've been reduced to re-reading second and third-rate vampire fiction (and worse). I could quite easily lose my mind in this stuff--the literary equivalent of a black velvet artist who only copies rococo artists.

Someone save me... please.

With the invention of E-Books, you can read books that way, without being exposed to dust. I know there are separate E-Book readers...I have no idea how expensive they are though.

yes, yes, yes

ebooks i DO read. :) i need to get some more. i'll only read them on the mac (LCD screen) and then usually only if i can customize my screen settings (black on white just hurts a little too much).

but, yeah. ebooks are a great thing. i don't mind paying for them (in fact, i think it's essential). i also subscribe to gothic.net, so i can read short stories and stuff there. i completely forgot about that--i could've been doing that the other night.
