A new way to read

I received a 'Nook', an e-book handled by Barnes and Noble bookstores, as a gift for Christmas. It took us a while to get it all set up, with my son's help. Now I have to get some books loaded into the thing. So, I guess I'll have to go to the bookstore to do that.

It's really small and handy. The print is clear and readable. I'm going to look forward to using it. This may be the end of publishing, as we know it. Even Newspapers are using this media. Magazines, too.

Wouldn't it be interesting to live in a world where you could download your reading material into a portable reader and not have to stagger through a store?

    Well, what a great gift. It would be wonderful to use when taking a trip. I do enjoy the atmosphere in Barnes & Noble and especially libraries. So...not ready to give in all the way to technology.

    Dad, That sounds so great! Does it read out loud if you want it to? Could it be used for the blind?
    Of course my question is will it show pictures in color because I love my butterfly books... That is so great that Chris helped make it work.
    Can I see it? I am working a show on Sat. Maybe we can get together for a cup o' joe this week. Finaly I have a slow week.
    I love you so,so,so,so,so,so,so,so,so,so,so,so,so,so,so, much!
