Books - Paper or Digital
I was reading an article in this weekend's FT about the broadcaster Ed Stourton's experience with moving from hardbacks or paperback books to using an eReader and his mixed response to it. I have not yet moved to using an eReader for two reasons. Firstly, an eReader is a limited product, surely something akin to a tablet would have more use but then I believe that the tablet is a limited product where if you are able to type you will leave finger marks or residue unless the screen design is able to clean up without too much intervention. Secondly, it also means you are carrying more kit around and naturally the storage has to be enabled and of course you separately pay for soft and hardcopies potentially of that book. I therefore remain old fashioned with my book purchasing.
