The Nameless
M-O-O-N - That spells Nameless
Here's the thing with me, I think I'm 50/50 when it comes to paperback vs hardback. I mostly read in bed on my right side, hardbacks are good for this because you can lay it flat on its back cover and don't need much preassure on the left page to keep it up (no dirty jokes GNT), and to read the right page you can stand the book up and lightly grip the bottom to keep it upright. That said, there is just something about a worn, discoloured, musty smelling paperback that makes reading feel extra cozy. I just love it. Because of those 2 things I have no preferrance around the house, just a physical book.
Travelling or on holiday - ereader. When I read the stand, my paperback was 1440 pages - as thick as 3 normal paper backs or 2 big ones (think Desperation plus Dark Tower: Wasteland), I would need a bag to put that in on a bus or train, where as my ereader fits in my pocket.
If I'm out and about and I have time to kill, I read on my phone (Android) using a fantastic app called Cool Reader.
E-readers are a fantastic thing. They enable people who wouldn't normally be able to read a book to do so, they're light and small for people with dexterity problems who can't hold a bulky or heavy book, people with very poor eysight can adjust the font size. I have a Kobo Mini and love it. I would never have a Kindle for the same reason I'd never have an iPhone. You get less for more. Kindle's don't support .epub, has less text options, they cost $10 extra to get one without advertising on it, you can't borrow from a library or shop around etc.
