I was just discussing this with the guys that build my computers when

they saw I was carrying a book. They love their readers, but I have

tried them and for some unknown reason I don't like them. Cost and

always having to keep them charged are two reasons. I am the world's

worst keep electronics charged person. The point about technical books

and pdf's is an important one. Other than entertainment that is all I read.

Thanks Malcolm
