PalmAddicts: Save a Tree Read and E-Book: “So, palm users, if you don’t read on your PDA, why not? We readers can be a bit fanatical in our book buying habits, I’ll admit, and it can be a stress to any relationship if your partner doesn’t understand. So readers and partners of readers might like to think on these facts. Maybe your next present could be a PDA and an e-book voucher.
� Think of those interminable journeys on crowded buses, tubes and trains. They could be enlivened by a good book. Your PDA’s smaller and lighter than a book, you can store several books at once, no flipping pages just twitch the thumbwheel and you can read while strap hanging.
� Any ladies who like to read the odd bodice-ripper, but are fed up with bystanders staring at the covers as though you’re a) unintelligent and b) a bit of a pervert? Then an e-book’s the answer — no one can see the cover.
� Fed up with taking a suitcase full of books on holiday — just load up 50 books on a memory card and you’ve got plenty of reading material with no excess luggage and no arguments from the other half.
� Running out of storage space at home, fed up with arguments about building shelving and your book buying habits. Again e-books are the answer, store them on a couple of CDs, no shelves and what he can’t see he won’t shout about.”
