10. You'll be ahead of the curve. If you have an e-reader you will be one of those cool techno geeks that are on the cutting edge of technology and pop culture. Okay...using "cool" and "techno geek" in the same sentence is a bit of an oxymoron...but you know what I mean.
9. It's easy on the eyes. You know when you love a book SO much and are so hooked, you read it until you are bleary eyed? Well e readers have a great feature....you can easily and quickly adjust both the font size and adjustable back lighting. It makes for a very easy read for tired eyes that just can't stop reading their favorite story. Also, if you know anyone who's older and having trouble reading, this is a great solution due to the larger font options.
8. They aren't just for books. You can download pictures, music, documents and even newspapers. If you have a subscription to the NY Times, you don't need the paperboy to toss it in your bushes (which leads to the inevitable search in your bathrobe just as your hot neighbor comes outside) Nope, not you...you simply plug your e reader into your laptop, go to nytimes.com and upload that days paper. Simple, quick, and no embarrassing front yard escapades in your bathrobe....unless of course that's what you're into.
7. It's cost effective. OK...so you lay out some money for the device itself...BUT...you keep all the books, newspapers etc. in the exact condition you purchased them in. They don't rip, fade or get lost under your bed. You'll get your money's worth out of every download.
6. You have more than one choice. Since this handy little gadget is catching on, the competition is heating up. There are several choices. My favorite is the Sony (hubby got me one for Xmas). You can go to this techno-geek link to get a full rundown of all the e readers out there and which one looks best for you and your budget.

5. It accessorizes beautifully. It has special "extras" just like any other great gadget. I personally like the black leather cover, which not only protects it but makes it look better. I don't know about you but I always look better in black.....very slimming.
4. Create Collections with the tap of the screen. One of the neatest features is the ability to quickly and easily organize all of your books into your favorite collections. I've got mine separated by genre. Romance, Paranormal Romance, Mystery and so forth. It takes just a few minutes to get everything in it's place. Think about doing that with the two hundred paperbacks at home....that's an all day project....and where the heck are you gonna put 'em once you've organized 'em. With the e reader, it's quick and efficient.
3. They are environmentally friendly. E books use no paper....therefore no trees are harmed in order to produce them. Also, what happens to all those books we've read when we're done with them? Eventually they either go to the garbage bin somewhere...now I know most of us donate them. Face it, eventually someone will throw it away OR they sit around collecting dust and taking up space. How many books do you have stored in a corner/closet/box somewhere?
2. It's an incredible space saver! I don't know about you, but I LOVE books! When I get one I really like, I can read it in a day. So at home I have stacks and stacks of books, which are taking up loads and loads of space. Now, with an e reader, I can load hundreds of books into this one, thin, lightweight e reader. How about vacation? When I go away I like to bring two or three books. That takes up a good deal of space in the carry on, not to mention adds weight. Not with an e reader. No more bulky books and news papers....now just one slim little e reader. It's only about a half an inch thick and weighs less than a pound.
The #1 Reason you should get an e reader........You can buy a copy of "Th
e
Amoveo Legacy" on the very first day it's released at
http://www.novelromance.net/ C'mon.....you knew it was coming. LOL.
Happy reading whatever your pleasure.
Best,
Sara
