Thing 9:ebooks

I've been waiting for this one.  Although I've been reluctant to jump into ebooks, I think I'm ready now.  I see a real advantage especially for travelling.  No need to lug around a ton of paper.

When I was working, I use NetLibrary and project Gutenburg books.  I was glad to learn of so many more places to access free ebooks.  All the classics are there!  And I like the idea of having access to vast libraries 24/7.

Like many other technologies, I don't believe ebooks will ever completely replace paper volumes, anymore than television replaced radio.  Different strokes for different folks.
