I can relate to your preference. As much as I love the environment of a book store, the smell of new books and the feel of paper pages, I find myself avoiding purchasing the physical book – looking, instead, for the soft-copy version. Since my Nook and then my Ipad, I find that individual words and their use have become so much more important to me.Scerakor wrote:As a few people above have said, the e-reader is magical for exactly this purpose. I have become addicted to this technology to such a point that when I read hard copy books, I actually do think of touching and holding my page to look something up (I never actually do... don't worry)!

The information needs to be appealing for the reader to want to retain it.
