(#1 Reason why I am an 8th grade reading teacher today). I also spent many summers and weekends working in a bookstore and vowed I would never have an e-reader. When I finally decided that my 10 year old laptop was knocking on death's door, I bought an iPad... needless to say I love my iBooks. (Plus, nobody can tell when I'm reading my teen fiction, which makes up the majority of my reading these days.) I still do love the feel of a book in my hand, and I do think it's sad what eReaders are doing to the livelihood of bookstores, but... eBooks are pretty fantastic... and I love that I can download most of the classics for free.<br />Bonus:iPad runs iBooks, Kindle, and Nook...

It's still on my wish list, but it has moved down many spaces. The library is working out great for me at this point.<br /><br />How lucky to win an iPad! I better start entering some contest ;)Mistyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01937914977748134353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7326431006369188706.post-69957220899120016832011-04-06T16:49:53.536-05:002011-04-06T16:49:53.536-05:00I dunno, I would kind of like one.

I think I'd like something that did more than one thing though.

I like the idea of having an entire library at my fingertips. It's convenient for when I travel, or don't have access to my bookshelves, or whatever. I don't think it has to be either or...it can be a balance!Mara Nashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14628961488068784772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7326431006369188706.post-42794875219322163102011-04-06T08:23:02.194-05:002011-04-06T08:23:02.194-05:00This is the second blog today I have seen about e-...This is the second blog today I have seen about e-readers... and I have only looked at 2 blogs!!!!<br />I understand you on this one. I wanted an iPad so bad before the came out, but not to read on... but it is great for audio books, and my blog looks pretty sweet on it. :-) I could not justify pay that amount for one, even though I planned to use it for our photography business as a portable portfolio. But I held my dream, and I won one. Yes, I won an iPad on line, just like you won cupcakes. (people say i'm so lucky all the time, I'm going to blog about that next week) Hold your dream, and your eReader will come. You may not know how... but it will.<br />TTrevorhttp://www.sweettoothkc.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7326431006369188706.post-6758371640284513452011-04-06T08:00:46.177-05:002011-04-06T08:00:46.177-05:00Fellow A to Z'er stopping by to say hello.

Then when I bought the iPad, I continued to download ebooks. I still love the feel of a book in my hand, but the convenience of having so many titles in one place is hard to beat.
