I don't have any Kindle or I-Pad type gysmos yet; but I do have an Apple MacBook Pro Lap Top and I like being about to access books and pdfs on the internet and make the print big, etc. But for some reason, I get tired of trying to follow long documents like that - I usually need to print them out and be able to look quickly over all the pages first a few times to the end; then go back and read slowly. Books and papers are easier to do that with.<br /><br />I can see they are good for travel (books are heavy and bulky) and good novels, etc. but a book at a desk or good comfortable chair with good lighting - still seems better if not traveling, etc. <br /><br />But, I don't know how to explain it though; but in books about theology, history, apologetics, bible stuff - it really helps to have a book to be able to go back and forth, jump to index, endnotes, previous pages, subsequent pages, etc. and see it all at one time. The electronic readers don't give me the same feeling of finding things fast like a book does.<br /><br />But having several good novels on a I-Pad or Kindle is better (than taking different 5-10 books) when traveling on plane long distance; and while on a long trip.Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17824685809003307918noreply@blogger.com
