Times have most certainly changed in the methods we use to read our books. It was only about five years ago when Amazon introduced the Kindle at a whopping $299 now for a very reasonable $69. This, of course, is the basic model but it's the model I have and I'm happy with it. When I bought the ereader, it was originally intended to view the electronic version of Behind the Signs, and I'm glad I did. The formatting was terrible and I had to tangle with the publisher and Amazon to rectify the situation. I'm happy to say that it was fixed right away with very little hassle on my part. I then ventured out to other ereaders to investigate them and how my book looked on their individual formats. I am impressed. The latest is the Sony version which is not only available on the Sony Reader but in formats for PC and Mac as well. I downloaded the PC version, (I run Windows), and I am impressed. How enjoyable! It's so much better than reading the book in Microsoft Word or the basic PDF format that it's almost ridiculous. The print is awesome, the pages look like a book, not a legal document and the price...$3.79. The download software is of course, free and only takes about five minutes to set everything up with an account with one-click purchase capabilities, if that floats your boat. Pretty nifty, and my book is always mine, even if the good old HP takes a hike. Leave a comment if you find ereaders useful or think they are just a fad.
