Thanks for your interest and your comment. I did read some with my ipad, at first I wasn't convinced. I am one of those people who loves the physicality of reading a book. However I am becoming converted and I think that if I had a phone it would be even more convenient than the ipad. I would love to know if there is an e library out there, perhaps where you pay a yearly joining fee and then can download books and after a certain amount of time you have to "return" them.
