#22 - ebooks

Had a tough time trying to log on to Introduction to Netlibrary, but was able to load it finally last night. Reading the ebooks on Netlibrary might appeal to our younger generation but I pefer the printed version as it is not so stressful on the eyes.Using the computer for long period of time may cause eye strain and vision problems. Using the Netlibrary, ebooks can be downloaded onto disks or portable devices to be read at leisure. However, these ebooks have an expiry date and can be renewed just like a library book. In the case of ebooks on the Project Gutenburg these ebooks belong to the person who has downloaded it.

The wireless electronic book reader Kindle produced by Amazon looks good but I still prefer the written word.
