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.

An overview of the story so far:
PART ONE
Quote:The bus was late and the dog was already taking a poop right on the damn I nearly passed out but I managed to beat up a shark the one that ate my dear dead dog. It all happened so quickly, I couldn't even save my own toe!Blasted shark, I started to run away from it, but a luminous blowfish suddenly came from the sewer and started flailing on the ground so I went over and tickled it silly but all it did was pee on my atomic particle generator, which proceeded to spit fire towards the sky, when I got a call from my bank manager to say my account was now frozen because the atomic particle generator gave it a cold and so I asked where do I go if I want to unfreeze the account and he then told me to go back to the bus stop, but suddenly I found myself staring at the big alien craft that must have popped up from deep within the ocean and I suddenly forgot why I was standing completely naked apart from all the non-naked chickens pecking on the sliding glass door of my biomechanical leg replacement.
They broke the mechanism by improperly attempting to ratchet with a wrench when what was needed was a good strong fireman to tweak the mechanism and remove the rogue chicken, which had crawled in there and was deviously planning to disable my main component so I killed it.
As it lay twitching I learned that it was actually a hyena dressed up in a pink tuxedo and yellow shoes, and I thought I really need to get those shoes for my poodle who can't dance without yellow heels because the color yellow gives him wings like red bull commercials, true story.
There's a video on youtube, and it has already had over 3 million views! My friend thought that it was going to flop just like the time at the pool in that trendy L.A. hotel when that vain lifeguard was flexing his guns def. locked and loaded until the lesbian beat a “try” sexual at shed feathers all over my professionally cleaned carpet which made me sad.
PART TWO
Quote:So anyway, back at the swanky hotel bar near the bus stop I was still trying to unfreeze the account that my Bacardi Mojitos spilled on. They reopened the bank, which had I thought, the jewels but little did I know that someone had replaced them with those scary little kewpie dolls!My thoughts went wild because I couldn't even grasp why they existed and so I asked the strange looking lady but she ran screaming I panicked when I heard the police siren and threw the doll out of the window. Then the firemen came and started to kiss the jewels! Where were they going to take the strange looking giraffe which appeared out of place near 5th and 6th street, it craned its neck looking directly at the tiny man trying to bathe In the muddy puddle trying not to splash mud onto the old Bentley that was parked on its roof by the bus stop where the giraffe was trying to figure out when to stick his neck into the coffee shop to use wi-fi to google his friend the map of the outer 5th sector near the rings of Saturn in the galaxy Flarfignhim because their ribs are awesome!
However due to technical issues, the ribs were still stuck to the grill thanks to the chef using the wrong utensil that instead was a comb for my nostril hair that curled and gave great volume to the sensitive cells in my cerebral coretx, although that was negated by my neuro pllastic brain which I got free in a cereal box.

This is a really interesting discussion and I only regret being a little late to the party on this one.
When I lived in the UK, I was a registered organ donor. I don't know if the law has changed there, but I remember that even though I was a registered organ donor, I needed to inform my next of kin of my wishes as apparently they could still refuse to allow my organs to be used after my death (even though I was a registered donor).
emmeree – I don't think you need to worry about organ theft; especially in the West. If anything, I would say they'd be more likely to take your organs if you weren't a donor – at least when your registered they know they're getting them sooner or later!
When I moved to the USA and got my driving license here I ticked the organ donation box so now I have a pretty red heart on my license that confirms I'm an organ donor. It's kind of creepy that it's so prominently displayed on there (like they expect that's how I am going to die) – but I'm kind of proud that it's on there at the same time.
When they wrote to me to confirm my wishes, there was a form where I could limit what could and couldn't be taken. I allowed them to take everything, but I said I didn't want my body donated to medical research – donating organs is one thing, but having students picking through my body is quite another!
