Plus it is hard to flip through the book looking for the highlighted text (the pages take a while to turn, fine in regular reading but impossible to do if you are trying to flip through fast). You will just be disappointed. Of course if you travel a lot (like my husband does for work), it might be an OK trade off. <BR/><BR/>Sorry Amy. I didn't mean to tempt you :><BR/><BR/>perennialgardener, hehe nope. I never show hubby anything like that. He loves his technology. He is always the one showing me.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-32615512257298502592009-02-11T09:46:00.000-05:002009-02-11T09:46:00.000-05:00What a handy gadget to have Daphne.

My big drawback would be the reference books, like you mentioned. I am not much of a novel reader- I read for information, with highlighter in hand. When I'm thinking about buying a book, I get it first at my library and if I find myself reaching for my highlighter too often- time to buy the book. I remember exactly what book had what info I needed (that probably was highlighted) years later.<BR/><BR/>I do really need to read more for enjoyment, at least that is what my mom says, but reading for information about gardening is enjoyable. I've been know to check out 10 books at a time or more and go through them very fast. Still, I may have to give Kindle a shot because it would be really hard to take all my books with me traveling!Tessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12357951823874888877noreply@blogger.com
