I forgot about the page turning feature ... my pastor showed me his and I was impressed.
I hated the scrolling up and down even though they had it set so it would snap to the next page it just "felt wrong" I loved the fact I could go online in the middle of the night when insomnia had me in its clutches and with a few clicks of the mouse I had a new book to read. The screen was too small the scrolling annoyed me and the book selection was terrible BUT I could usually find something. BUT after a while the prices started rising and I was not going to pay over ten bucks for a digital download of text WHEN I COULD BUY A PAPERBACK FOR LESS!
So eventually I gave up and went back to Dead Tree Media.
Then a couple of Christmases ago Mrs. Dawgg said we should get Kindles for Christmas. I wanted no truck with it. I had found loads of FREE PDF books online and I could read them on my laptop. I even had a nifty little handheld mouse that allowed me to use my thumb to navigate the PDF (still used up and down scrolling) this allowed me to place my laptop on a small stand and I could lay in bed and read or sit in a chair too and flip through the book using my thumb. I was in heaven.
Christmas comes and I am handed a box and in it is a Kindle Fire. I think great, another digital eBook reader that will charge me mega bucks for books when I can read for Free on my laptop. Then I started messing with it and started reading the book supplied with it and WOW it acted like a real book. Then I found literally THOUSANDS of Free and Legal Kindle eBooks online and the rest is history!
I will still buy really good copies in Dead Tree Media format but they will be leather bound on archival paper etc. Or when I can get a regular copy signed by the Author. But otherwise it will be eBooks for me!
