Who here has moved to e-books ?

 

I have been a hard core book collectors for years with close to 1500 scifi/fantasy books in my collection and then I got a kindle 10 months ago.

Since then I haven't purchased a single paper book and I am actually reading a lot again ( purchased and read 35 e-books or so in 10 months while I was down to reading 8-9 books a year before that).

The thing that really rocks with the kindle is the spur of the moment purchase. I used to buy books as they were released, especially  in case of series as I never knew if I would be able to find them later on. And when i wanted to read a new book I would look at my backlog and have to decide what to read next.

Now when I finish a book I can get and start reading any book I want within 60 seconds, so I get to read what i feel like reading at that time, not what I purchased 2 years earlier........

One thing I had never done before (except for LOTR) is that e-books are cheap enough that I find myself repurchasing old books I had and rereading them again....

I LOVE MY KINDLE !!!
