I am saving up Christmas money and other funds to get on. I do have on downloaded on my laptop. I look the thought of having an eReader but I still like a hard copy of a book. It can be autographed! :-)<br /><br />Congrats on you new release and good luck!Lady_Graeyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02697093619684822302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-722591158403853192010-01-04T19:47:22.245-05:002010-01-04T19:47:22.245-05:00We NEVER get that cold!

I can see where an e-reader would be great for someone who travels a lot or for someone who has limited space (say, you live in a tiny space in NYC or you've given up a house altogether and taken to the road in an RV).Trish Milburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08812010789617982102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-54733181524698426852010-01-04T17:03:20.442-05:002010-01-04T17:03:20.442-05:00I have to say I love being part of the conversatio...I have to say I love being part of the conversation where people use the word "luddite!"

Actually I'm a complete luddite and I must say I've always loved the printed book as an artefact. The only time I'm even half tempted to get an e-reader is when I travel because as we know, lugging heavy books around can get a bit of a pain. I even love the fact that my house is overrun with books - it's kind of like a map of where I've been in my life. So I guess I'm going to have to be dragged kicking and screaming into the new reading universe!Anna Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06695579361323275316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-25908551359110100402010-01-04T15:03:54.170-05:002010-01-04T15:03:54.170-05:00Oh, Suzanne, I wish you'd gotten an iPod Touch...Oh, Suzanne, I wish you'd gotten an iPod Touch.

The kids are a little chatty and I promised them a gab session just before lunch!<br /><br />I am on my computer a lot and can't imagine not having one. But, when it comes to reading and the printed page, I like to hold a book and be able to sit where I want, etc. Granted, you can do that with electronics (if you have them), but I like a feel of a book in my hands and being able to turn the pages, physically. :)Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12831144769121001738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-31919665436513228792010-01-04T11:15:24.543-05:002010-01-04T11:15:24.543-05:00Drew, hope you enjoy your Undones.
