Now I'm converted to ebooks

Despite my earlier post about ebook readers being a rip-off my daughter got a Kindle for Christmas, and really enjoys it and uses it all the time.

Following her lead I've now acquired Kindle for my iPhone, and I'm converted (mostly) to the concept of ebooks.

I know I can't read in the bath any more, but as long as I keep my phone charged I can read books wherever I go.  When I went abroad on business recently I took business books with me, rather than heavy tomes and it was so much easier.

Only a matter of time until electronic downloads overtake paper book purchases now (although they still need to work on the electronic book pricing model).

Can't wait to see the iPad 3

Looks like the Apple website is being prepared for the launch of the iPad3.  I'm glad I didn't buy an iPad2 after Christmas - now I have to see if I can afford an iPad3, or maybe pick up a cheap iPad2 once they flood onto the market?
