[LINK] iPad and eBooks

[Dr Bob Jansen]

I read ebooks on my iPad all the time. Currently reading James Gleick's 
The Information and really like the way I can make notes as I read to 
remember things of interest. However, for this particular book, I am 
missing the physical object in my bookshelf - may have to buy a copy 
anyway. For novels, etc, I find I don't need the physical book at all, 
except for those authors I collect, like Ian Rankin, Doug Adams, Terry 
Pratchett, Janet Evanovich.

So maybe I'm a half-convert!
