eBooks

Give me a book anyday - main reason, I enjoy reading before I go to sleep and at times find myself pleasantly dozing off mid sentence. Eyelids close and a soft thud afterwards or better yet no thud as the book remains on the bed and REM sleep here I come! Compare that to reading an ebook on your PC - getting tired, shake it off don't want the keyboard for a pillow - exit site, shutdown computer, walk to bed and sleep. Where's the magic? The passage of time blurred between awareness and the subconscious state, the drifting into nirvana, reality fading away.
If you can achieve this reading an ebook, even with an eReader- you truly are a romantic soul. Anyway, enough ranting - I went to Project Gutenberg and read The Art of War by Sun Tzu. It's something I'll read online but wouldn't take to bed because come on, really - that's a place best reserved for those you truly love.
