Bought Dan a Nook (e-book-reader from Barnes & Noble) on Monday. Makes so much sense, on a boat, to store your novels digitally. All the books we want, take up no space at all. And, they're the books WE want to read, not whatever moldy random leftovers are on the marina bookswap shelves. So, I haven't seen his face for 3 days, he's had his nose in a Nook. Went back to B&N today and bought one for me! You can buy new books for about 1/2 the price of a hardcover ... or ... there are loads of free books online. Most of these are classics, things out of copyright - so much the better. My high school English teacher would be so proud of me <*wink*> but at the same time, there's a reason these old books survived, and I'm looking forward to reading them all.
We'll still keep our reference books in hardcopy. Sometimes you want them when the power's out, or take them out to the engine room in the dirt and water. But novels? eBook, we're there!
