I left out-as irrelevant-that I run Linux, not Windows or a Mac, so I have fewer options than most. I understand that they are working on a Kindle version for Linux, and would like to get that on my machine when it comes out.
I, too, prefer paper books, but I don't turn down free, and there are a lot of free e-books and short stories out there. I have a laptop, so I am still pretty portable. I really want one of those readers, I have to admit. I could pack all my books for a trip-I go almost nowhere without at least one book in my bag, and for vacations and other travel, I try to bring enough for the whole time I'll be gone, in case I can't find a good bookstore.
Anyway, on the Ellora's Cave thing, if any of our men try their new books, I'd love to hear how they liked the things.
