I might still be in the honeymoon phase, but I am entirely in the Kindle camp. Books are unhygenic, dust-collectors, expensive and require so much storage space. Not to mention impossible to read in bed when you're lying down. And don't talk to me about paper cuts!
When I'm reading a paper book I often find myself putting my finger on a word to call up the dictionary to look it up, or wanting to search for where I'd read a name before. Silly me! How did we ever manage without those functions?
I have a dozen books on my bedside table waiting to be read, but I keep downloading things on to my Kindle. OK - some of them are not great, but mainly they are from the Deals and cost less than a Euro. If I was going into a bookshop to buy books, I wouldn't risk the money on an author or a genre I hadn't heard of before, or wouldn't normally be attracted by.
And if I get fed up of the cheap modern novels, I have the complete works of Dickens, Thomas Hardy, the Brontes, Jane Austen, D H Lawrence etc etc at my fingertips for some more substantial, yet cheap reading matter.
Cookery books would be great on a tablet or laptop. I have loads of them and only really look at them. If I need a recipe, I use the internet.
My only gripe about the Kindle is that the spelling is usually American, and that occasionally there are typographical errors or, funnily enough, names get muddled up.
