That is a very good book.

Tonight I finished Blood Covenant by Michael Franzese. It is a mob guy book. I recommend it :-)

Dan it's really good and hard to put down from page one. Highly recommended.

There are several threads here and whole forums on other sites dedicated to this question.

I like books -- I mean holding real paper books. I like the smell of paper books. When I vacation I take lots of books with me, which makes it a pain to travel. To make my life easier I looked around at e-readers and I like the Kindle the best. The E-ink screen is better than any other for reading. No eyestrain and I can read it anywhere. The Kindle holds lots of books and it is easy to download more (free and purchased).

Other people will have their opinions on other devices and we are all right -- we each have the best device for us. Before you buy just make sure that you really check out the screen -- indoors and (especially) outdoors in the Sun. The latter is why I don't have an iPad for reading (the glossy, backlit display sucks as an e-reader).

Thanks Michael.

My sis n law is dropping hints to my wife about getting me one for Christmas, but I am having a hard time jumping on to the wagon, considering they are one of the reasons Borders have went under, and that makes me sad.

Of course I could just be ignorant.

I look bookstores too - love to browse and hang out. We have a local bookstore (Powell's) that is wonderful. Even though I have a Kindle I still buy real books. Like I said -- I like real books. My Kindle is a convenience that I have come to like and rely on, but I manage to live in both worlds...

IMHO, the economy and poor management had more to do with Border's problems that the Kindle and e-readers did...

Battlecry of Freedom. It's a long, drawn out book on the Civil War. I'm thoroughly enjoying it. No idea who the author is, I went past that page a long time ago. :-)

You're probably right, that's why I said I was ignorant. :-) It just kinda reminds me of how downloading is killing the record stores.
