  25. Intersting Experience on eBooks Nearly Outsell Print Books At Amazon · · Score: 1

    Back in September I went (from USA) to Bosnia for a two weeks and both a Kobo reader so I do not get bored in the plane and airport in a case of a flight delay. It came pre-populted with 100 public domain classics. Many of the I have not read before. I was reading every day for almost a month before I needed to recharge.

    Howver, I have not bought a single eBook yet. Why? I'm reading History of the Fall of Roman Emprie. I have not finished it yet. There are a way more books on it that I wish I would read had I have more time. My wife and I carpool. So I keep the reader in the car and read when waiting for her to finish her work. So that is great. But there will pass a lot of time before I read a set of books from the reader that I intend to.

    So, there is a big difference between an eBook and an mp3. An mp3 last for few minutes and probably you are bored with it after listening to it for one hundred or so time but it takes a long time before you finish a book.
