Change of mind.

Well I've bitten the bullet and bought myself a Kindle - my Christmas present to myself.  The main attractions are the relatively low cost of books, the fact that there is such a wide range of titles available and the ease and speed of access - you can see a book you fancy and be reading it within about a minute.  I still miss the feel of a "real" book, but have decided that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.  I will keep you informed of my progress.
