I found reading about ebooks very interesting. How wonderful to be able to download books to read at your leisure, where ever you are.
These will certainly be lighter than some of the very heavy books that are about now. And cleaner as you will have your own germ-filled kindle or the like, to read from. Not one that has been around the community. But will we have access to a wide collection or will these be restricted?
So I could relate to reading an ebook while lying on my bed, in this format.
I found http://librivox.org/ and http://www.downloadfreepdf.com/ were quite good sites to search on for ebooks. Not too hard to use, especially after I had had a play with them. I suppose the more you use something the easier it becomes.
My search was for Shakepeare's Romeo and Juliet. I was satisfied with my search hits, although I am not a fan of reading small 'times roman' font. I would have liked to have been able to change this.
Looking at the kindle article in wikipedia, and its photo, I thought the device appeared a compact invention that would assist those with weak wrists (a plus for me to consider if I chose to purchase one). Seems that these can be purchased through many outlets.

So ...... looks like we are in for some changes in our libraries. Will we become outlets for selling the ebook reading devices.? Who knows..Thank goodness for pay-on-line.

Well, ebooks being germ free is an interesting point - not sure that many of us had thought of that aspect but it's very true. You could do well marketing ebooks, Poppy.
