eBooks

I think that eBooks will find their place in the same sphere as other technologies - a good parallel option for those who prefer an electronic version of a text rather than a hard copy. I must admit that I am still a bit of a traditionalist when it comes to books - I like to physically pick one up and turn actual pages rather than read a page on a screen and turn it electronically. It just doesn't have the same feel.... It's interesting that I have made the adjustment with photo collections - most of the photos I see these days are digitally saved on a computer or iPhone or camera; but as for books or magazines, I still appreciate the paper version far more that the e-version.

Will it always be thus? Forever is quite a long time and I am keen to keep up with technology so I'll probably bite the bullet in the near future and have a go at downloading a couple of books from the World eBook Fair or similar - more to say that I can do it rather than any particular drive to rad eBooks.

The other issue is time - or the lack thereof..... I probably wont do justice to the long list of books I'd love to read. Once I can create a space in my life to do so, well that will be another matter. Meanwhile a Masters essay beckons, a big pile of unread Educational Journals lies dormant on my desk, a number of Exec issues are pressing and, oh yes, some Year 12 Chemistry marking I promised to get back to the students ASAP.
