I have nothing against e-Books. I had one before (an iPad with the Amazon Kindle app) and enjoyed its novelty for a few weeks ‘til I eventually missed the feeling and smell of real books. It’s good to carry around with you because it’s much lighter than putting books in your bag. However, it’s also incredibly distracting knowing that there are other things you can do with it. Um, hello, Angry Birds?! Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think most e-Readers now can surf the internet as well. That may be a good thing to some, but I’m already low on attention span as it is.
I say it highly depends on you and your lifestyle. If you’re the type that’s on-the-go and can find many uses for it, then an e-Reader might be good for you. I tried it and it didn’t work out for me. :)
