#Ebook Readers - Why I Want One and Why I Don't Want One

I'm now back from the vacation with my three brothers and their wives. Family gatherings are the best!!

While away, I was cut off from the world - no computer.It was good and it was bad.

The good part: I was out of touch with the world.

The bad part: I was out of touch with the world.

Electronics are fabulous but they can also be a ball-and-chain that keeps us attached to time wasters, which, by the way, have many great benefits. We just need to learn to manage our devices, I guess.

At this time I still have not purchased an ebook reader and I don't know why. Perhaps I am resisting  another electronic device. Once I succumb, I may wonder why I resisted but at this point I do not feel like I am missing anything.

Here is a case for paper books: while on vacation I found a small used-book library where I found a fabulous book which no amount of searching on websites would have led me to.

However, if I had an ebook reader I might also stumble upon more current books that intrigue me. It's just that for me, it's not as much fun browsing on a website as in a physical store or library.

I guess that I am building a case for both sides. I just hope that publishers don't stop producing paper books. I love them.
