Funny thing about the tablets and a book... My wife downloaded several books onto her iPad which she would normally have gone to Barnes to get.  She is having trouble getting into this book where normally she would have read this one and a half dozen others in the same amount of time if they were made from "trees."  
I still want the feel of turning actual pages and going back easily if i need to review something without flipping my finger along the bottom edge a hundred times.
