An electronic book that works?

[Alex]

Also, I've noticed that I'm using it more like an Internet connection and less like a book. I'm reading about five books at the same time. A few pages at a time as the mood strikes me and time allows. I can't say yet if that's the way I will use the device in the long run or if it's just the newness.

That was a big thing that prompted me to get an e-ink reader. I was always reading a half-dozen books simultaneously, each good for a mood or circumstance ("this is the smallish paperback genre novel good for reading on BART with frequent interruptions while this is the 500-page hardcover review of artificial intelligence for when I've got a solid hour to read and reread the same pages if necessary").

So now, the thing was, I'd always have all the books with me. The result now is that I very rarely read multiple books simultaneously but plow through one and get to the next. Still reading the same amount, though.
