E-books
Since last winter I started reading books on a tablet. Beforehand I would have thought I'd miss physical books in my hand. But actually you quickly get used to the screen and in fact I find it way more practical.
The biggest advantage is of course to carry a full library at hand on your tablet, which is for the enternal traveller like me a huge advantage. Secondly I love being able to read a book handsfree (thanks to the holder of the tablet)...handy at a table while having a meal or so. Those 2 facts overrule greatly the loss of feeling a real page.
Disadvantage is that I tend to read less frequently anymore in bed just before dozing off. I suppose that at that point of the day, I do not enjoy the lighted up screen anymore (I don't have a kindle, ...I guess they are better for that). Additionally, I seem to have been reading less in general over the last weeks, but that could be due to the type of books I recently read. Still there is on my tablet so many other distractions that need to compete with reading books.
What is your experience with reading books vs e-books?

so yes it is different and I was amazingly quickly used to this new way of reading where advantages seemed greater to me than the disadvantages.
