>>The e-books are not simply for saving space or cost. I have iPad and Kindle (Kindle White for reading on the beach or in the sun, or at night). I can name many advantages of e-books.
>>1. I often read more than one book and when I get tired of one I can simply switch to another
>>2. I read many Spanish books where looking up a word is so easy
>>3. When I read a book and I want to look up something online (Wikipedia or Google), using iPad is so simple (without having to put book down and turning on computer, or when you are in bed).
>>4. Much less weight to carry when going on vacation or a long trip.
>>5. You can search through a book if you look for something
>>I can go on and on.

>6. something I always wanted to do but couldn't do on paper: make notes. Simply have a text editor open, alt-tab, write, alt-tab back.
I agree. On Kindle and iPad you can make typed notes right in the book (in the notes section). And get to them at any time. You don't even have to alt-tab..etc.
