A quick analysis of the
year’s reading to date indicates that e-books now make up about 40% of my
reading, which is not surprising as, although I love proper books, the
electronic ones have many attractive features such as: portability (although I
still took 3 printed books on holiday); ease of bedtime reading (the book light
does not flop about or get caught up in the turning pages); zero bookshelf
space requirement (very much in short supply); adjustable font size (an age
thing); and availability of bargains in the Kindle store (of which I took
advantage today with three purchases for a total of £3.87 - The Good Lawyer by Thomas Benigno, The
Geneva Trap by Stella Rimington, and The Dream Lover by William Boyd).
