Your comment hit home with me. I just started reading 11/22/63 and really enjoying it, but I have a busy travel schedule coming up and there is no way I will carry the actual book with me. An e-reader may be in my future, for such occasions.

Great review! I am looking forward to reading this book. I admire the skill of an author that can make you feel empathy for characters even when you may not like them.

I’ve never tried the dual reading thing and really have never been tempted to. I prefer ebooks honestly. They’re easier to mark without ruining the book, easier to carry. I have been tempted to pick up print versions of audio’s I’m listening to though, since it’s almost impossible for me to catch quotes I might want to keep or go back and reread certain sections.

I have the same opinion as you in wanting to OWN a good book. I have an old eReader too, a Sony pocket edition, that I’ve had for a couple years, but I only use it to check things out from the library, because I just like the physical book too much. Sometimes while reading a particularly large book, I think how much more convenient the eBook would be, but I can’t get used to it. It wasn’t until I started using my eReader that I realized how much I depend on physical context of something on a page. I want to flip back and find a certain passage, but I can’t do that on an eReader and it drives me nuts!!

I’ve been tempted to do the dual reading thing but I worried about being able to find my place.

Interesting idea. I have noticed that the page counts are off on a few of my books as well. It’s hard to give up the feel and smell of a “real” book, but I do LOOOOVE my nook! Always looking for more Nook friends if you’re interested in it. I love that we can share ebooks with the Nook!

I have never owned an ereader so I’m not sure that I am qualified to speak to the dual reading thing, but I will say that since I’ve started 11/22/63 (I’m only about 200 pages in) I have never wanted an ereader more. Toting this thing around is getting old, to say the least.
