My Secret Addiction

Kim Kovacs, BookBrowse reviewer

Once again I begin my New Year's resolutions with the promise, "I will not buy more books than I can read" (followed by the corollary, "I will buy just one book at a time"). Once again, I suspect I'll fail.

Ever since the fourth grade (don't ask), books have been a refuge for me. Each one represents a new world or adventure, my own little escape pod from the traumas of the day. Books call to me as I stroll the bookstore aisles, unable to resist their alluring covers and captivating premises. How can I possibly leave one of these unexplored worlds sitting, unread, on a shelf at my bookstore?

Can you comment on the benefits and problems of the Sony eReader versus the Amazon Kindle? Their prices are comparable and both out of my price range right now ( like you, my Christmas gift hints fell on deaf ears), I'm working on Mother's Day. Thanks, Lynda

Hi Lynda,
Kim's going to get back to you straight away by email with her top line thoughts - so that you don't have to wait for an answer. Then, sometime soon, she plans on posting a blog entry on the topic of the Kindle vs Sony Reader vs other options.
Very best
Davina

i totally identify with kim kovacs comments about her e-reader. am patiently i i waiting for my NOOK, which i have re-named stella, in honor of marlon marlon brando--i also tried getting books from the library,but,as kim pointed out, that doesn't work-----i laffed out loud at her comment about how she can now smuggle in books,unbeknownst to anyone!!-i love my REAL books, but at 1,140+, it's time to get real, and go the e-reader way.
