Like you said there is no way an e-book could replace a paperback. I must admit however that the flexibility of the e-reader has allowed me. I now own more books without feeling guilty about where I place them, or how to take them with me when I travel. Also like you said, with my bad eyesight, font sizes and screen adjustment help a lot.
But, it is true that I feel more for the paperbacks I’ve owned for years, than those e-books I got on my e-librabry. It isn’t the amount of time I spend (I’m a fast reader on either format, really), but perhaps the actual feel of flipping pages, and the excitement of seeing the print on the other side of the paper between your fingers.
No reader can argue the smell of a good book, or the tender touch of the faces of a page. Still, e-readers are more helpful than harmful in my opinion. Especially when you live so far from the prints like I do, and have to wait months and months for the paperback you requested, while it is only a button-click away on your phone or tablet. ]]> By: Peter A.

Just been buying a book by the esteemed Richard Jefferies, Wild Life In A Southern County. I chose to buy it for my Kobo because firstly it was 82 pence and secondly my Kobo Aura HD is light and small enough to fit in with my camera gear. I must admit I was tempted to buy an old very used 1890s edition but practicality and cost won through. Although I love my Kobo, I do still enjoy the tactile pleasure of quality print books. I have some lovely new and secondhand Folio Society editions which are a joy to handle! At 59 years of age I wonder how much of my love of printed books is down to ‘conditioning’ and familiarity?

It’s okay, I completely understand. I don’t have subscribed Kindle Unlimited, but let me try finding the email again.

Oops–not Amazon Prime, but Kindle Unlimited, via amazon.com. If you have Kindle Unlimited, Bell Mountain is free. If you just want to order the e-book from amazon.com, it’s $1.99.

I’m not trying to go cheap on you, Aman–just looking for the easiest way for you to get the book. I’d help more, but I don’t handle e-books, don’t have a Kindle machine, and don’t understand the technology involved.

*Sigh* In fact, there’s very little technology that I understand.

Do you have Amazon Prime? If so, you can get Bell Mountain for free. This would be easier than going through the publisher again. Let me know.

Hi, Lee, yes I remember you send them to me but I tried finding them in my email sometime back and could find the email. Can you please send them again?
