E-Books? [View All]

[Proud Liberal Dem]

I just recently found out that you can now buy books in "E-Book" format for computer viewing and was just wondering what everybody's thoughts/opinions are on them. What are some of the advantages/disadvantages of such a format? Are they worthwhile? I have started thinking about possibly buying a few. Normally, I don't buy a lot of books but I would like to be able to preserve whatever I buy and what better way to preserve them than in a digital format? Of course, the downside is that I could only view them on my home computer (although I do generally spend a lot of time on the computer anyway) and the selection of available titles, while decent, still seems somewhat limited at this time (from what I have seen anyway). Has anybody here ever purchased any and enjoy them?
