I hear exactly what you're saying – and it's one of the reasons why we started this project. Hopefully we can share more constructive tips and advice. If not, at the very least we can share our experiences with others that know what we're talking about and going through.
Have you ever been given a 'sleep technique' that actually worked?!

I use a Sony Reader – it's smaller and doesn't do the whole online thing; I just wanted something I could read on, and don't need all the fancy gadgets. Also, I don't tend to buy ebooks – I get them free online, or borrow them free from the library.
The Kindle has had a massive price reduction down to $189 – it uses the same technology as my Sony Pocket Reader; at the moment I think there is only one company making the e-ink displays. Hopefully Lindsay will contribute to the discussion soon – I know she got an ereader about the same time as me.

I wonder if we schedule something on a weekend – would that make it easier to get more of us together at the same time, as we'll be negating work commitments (but be intruding on family/friend time).
I'm keen to figure something out.

Thanks for sharing, Franky. There is so much passion, honesty and imagery in your writing – I often wonder whether what you write is fiction, based on your current feelings or reflections of your past. Maybe part of all three?

'emmaree' wrote on '19:Go for it kik , that sounds wonderful. Apart from the experience you get , your work gets looked at. The more eyes that view your work the more public you become which makes you marketable. I think you should give it a really good try even if its just for fun, it is still and achievement and in my books nothing is ever wasted
Agreed.
What's the novel about, Kik?

'seenafterscene' wrote on '18:I don't read enough (shame on me) to justify the cost of an e-reader. And IMO, I agree, nothing beats actual, tangible paper (I know, not eco-friendly, but I LIKE books and magazines.) If anyone is interested in trying it, Amazon offers an e-reader app for just about any format imaginable: PC, Mac, iPhone/Touch, Blackberry, etc. Although, ideally, it is best read on a full size monitor, at least, you can take it on the go, for when you have time to kill. Barnes & Noble offers a free e-reader app too, but to my knowledge it only works on iPhone/Touch.
The reason ebook readers are better is because of the e-ink technology. I can't read for long periods on a monitor – regardless of how big it is; the light tires my eyes. Ebook readers are pretty similar to reading paper – you can read for hours without any eye strain. When people talk about the new iPad being good for reading books I shake my head – at least for me, that wouldn't be possible for the above reason.
I didn't read a whole lot before getting the ereader – but now it comes everywhere with me and I find myself reading a LOT more. Especially when I can download books form the library for free!
I agree with you when it comes to magazines, though – you can't compare the experience; paper will always win for the forseeable future.

I know lots of useless facts, but can't always pull them out of my brain on demand! One of the last snippets I absorbed though, was that owls can't move their eyes in their head (that's why they twist their heads all the time).
I'll update as more spring to mind – bet you can't wait!!!

Oops – sorry I missed your question, emmaree!
Yes, there a piece of hardware. The reason they're better than reading on your PC is because of the display. It uses something called e-ink which looks similar to paper so you don't get any eye strain whilst reading – and you can read in direct sunlight, which is hard to do on a glossy PC screen.
I'm in Hawaii at the moment and love taking my ebook reader down the beach with me – so much easier than carrying a big, bulky book. I'd definitely recommend them if you enjoy reading.
Hedwig – I know what you mean about the nostalgia factor; that being said, the convenience of ebooks just can't be beaten – especially when you travel a lot.
