Do you read books with an ebook reader?

I bought a Sony PRS-650 Reader to read books and I'm loving it.

For one thing, there are zillions of free books in epub format available for download for free. Many of them are out of print, so you would have to pay a high price to get a printed copy. Most current releases have to be paid for, of course, and there is the DRM hassle, which is a double hassle for Linux users.

But all in all it's great.

Is anybody else enjoying the modern era?

Yes. But I read ebooks on my computer. I learn by ebooks. Because it is really easy to find a electronic version other than going to buy a hard copy.

I sold my kindle but now use the kindle app on my android tablet. The kindle is more comfortable to read, but the backlight on the tablet is great for at night.

Yes, preferably it is a good option for me.That makes the process simple to me and contributes much to my efforts to move through my professional activities. Considering the use of ebooks in maintaining my blog works related to essay company reviews, i can say one choose the option freely. And also it depends on different persons interests and needs, one can get it acceptable, but for some others it is not.
