I would suggest the Callahan series by Spider Robinson...they're relatively short books---won't take you too long...but its quality, not quantity....

I have a Fictionwise ebook reader, 2 PDA's, a smartphone, and a gadget that turns my Gameboy Advance into an ebook reader.

Yet I still read hardback and paperback novels

I've seen the Sony version and now this offering from Amazon.

I have to say that none of this has particularly impressed me....and I'm a true gadgeteer...I realize that all this technology is trying to get to the Star Trek paperless PADD era, but I think its going to take a long, long time...

P.S.--I am also an avid comic book reader, and have tried Marvel and DC comics' versions of 'digital' comics....didn't like them....there is just something about curling up in bed with a nice big stack of pulpy comic books thats just somehow...I don't know...comforting...

See, I always thought that tablet pc's would catch on as book/magazine replacements---as a comic book fan, I thought it would be great to have a tablet PC and read JPG pages of comic books/magazines the same way people do with txt files on ebooks (I have a fictionwise ebook that I use all the time for reading ebooks)
