Well, this is certainly true in my case. I have had a BeBook One now for a while and find myself picking it up quite often and reading a few pages of newly purchased books. I have bought around 6 books and downloaded them to the device in just the past 2 or 3 months. I would normally never buy regular books at that rate.

Great news for e-novellists like me! And I can bear out the Christmas day purchase - sold 7 copies of Love Knot through Amazon.com on Christmas day compared to daily average of 1-2.

yes, well said. these e-tablets/readers are powerful enabling platforms. my estimate is that the next generation of these devices that's around the corner will also appeal to a segment of users that have not even owned a pc yet. if picking up a tablet is as easy as flipping a magazine, then a whole new market opens up.

I have had my Kindle for 6 months and have been reading on it nonstop. I have always been a reader but since getting my Kindle I have read more books within the last 6 months than I have in the last 2 years. Not only am I reading a lot more but I am reading books that I would not have normally read. I love how many free books are offered but that is also one of the ways publishers are pulling people into series books. There is only one thing that I really don't like and that is instead of giving me page numbers at the bottom, they give you a location code. I wouldn't mind the location code if only the numbers made sense to me. I love my Kindle and am planning on many years of enjoyment with it to come!!! Not only that but all the people whom I know who have Kindles themselves, love them as much as I love mine.

I've read three books on my Kindle and counting. It does make me read more due to the convenience of getting a book whenever I want or wherever I am. I'm an avid reader, but never read as many print books as I do e-books on Kindle. Take that for what it's worth -- the Kindle experience is great.
