[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like physical books. However, if you go the e-reader route, PLEASE do not have them read on something that is backlit like an ipad. It is horrible on the eyes and they already get so much screen time as it is. It also screws with the circadian system, interrupting sleep cycles. [/quote] Yes. I get much more eye strain reading on the computer. Also, I love books -- I love the way they smell, they way they feel, the pictures on the front, the different fonts. I like checking them out of the library, and for the ones we own, I like seeing them collected and organized on a shelf, or marked up where one of us particularly liked a passage. We don't own e-readers, nor plan to. There's something about the physicality of a book that we cherish. Newspapers, on the other hand, I have always disliked (difficult to hold, ink all over your hands) so we read those online. And music is collected in an ipod. So we're not wholly Luddites.[/quote]
