That means you have two months to make a potentially life-changing decision: Should you buy a copy of book or should you buy an electronic copy of the book? </p> <p>On one hand, the electronic copy is cheaper and kills fewer trees. On the other hand, trees are assholes. They&rsquo;d have no hesitation about chopping you up and reading you. Plus, if you do go for the electronic version, you&rsquo;re going to miss out on all the great Scratch-&amp;-Sniff popup pages. But hey, if you&rsquo;re not interested seeing (and smelling) a perfect 1/1000th scale replica of CityCenter, suit yourself. </p> <p>On a more serious note: I&rsquo;m starting to think iPads and Kindles aren&rsquo;t going to replace hardcopy books, after all. </p> <p>iPads: I&rsquo;ve got an iPad. I use it every day. I also read books every day. But I&rsquo;ve never read a book on my iPad. Because I can&rsquo;t. Tried once. Not even close. With email and facebook and Netflix a click away (well, two clicks), you&rsquo;d need the self-restraint of a Buddhist monk on Ritalin to get through a single chapter. </p> <p>Kindles: They&rsquo;re pushing them hard at Barnes &amp; Noble. I see people buying them every day. But I rarely, rarely see anybody reading on Kindles. Maybe this is different in cities with mass transportation systems, but here in Vegas, Kindles are rarer than Buddhist monks on Ritalin. </p> <p>I really need to expand my comedy references.</p> <!-- google_ad_section_end --> better to read book on kindle better to read on kindle or ipad book on ipad book on kindle book review ipad book review kindle comparing hardcopy and ipad comparing hardcopy and kindle comparing kindle and ipad do people read on kindle electronic book vegas funny book ipad funny book kindle kindle or ipad new book by vegas author new ipad features new kindle features publishign on ipad publishign on kindle read hard copies of books rick lax new book vegas authority vegas book kindle vegas electronic vegas ipad vegas kindle vegas writer why kindle better will ipad die will kindle die Writing Tue, 09 Nov 2010 21:50:47 +0000 ricklax 416 at http://ricklax.com
