e-book fixation...

Now I know why I still prefer REAL books to e-books.

I am admittedly an e-book convert (yes, Reg, you were right) but sometimes you can’t help but love the feel of paper beneath your fingertips.

Okay, fine. The OTHER reason is I just spent half the day converting HTML files using eBook Studio only to find that it still won’t work on my T3. Major annoyance. I was so proud of my work pa naman. Nevermind. I think I will take a trip to PowerBooks and buy the damn thing. Or maybe buy the e-book online. Hmmm… What to do, what to do.

Many many thanks to Deo for e-mailing me The Rule of Four. It’s sure to be a fabulous book, when I finally do get the chance to read it.

Right now I am VERY tempted to purchase the book online. Twiddle, twiddle. Do I buy the e-book? Dammit, I want to read that book! But I can just as easily drive to PowerBooks tonight and buy myself a copy.

Darn. Maybe I should sleep on it.

the only reason why i love e-books so much is because i don't have to worry about my eyes getting ruined (more than they already are) due to "bad lighting."

but i DO know what you mean about having leaves of paper between your fingers... weather its the crispy, matt, or the glossy kind of paper... the whole experience is just really different. :P

what other ebooks do you have?
