What do you think of reading on a Kindle?

Just recently I read my first book on a Kindle. As a librarian, I probably should have done this a long time ago. I have read on my iPad–usually when I’m travelling and need a new book because I’ve finished my printed copies. Here’s my first thought: I still like reading from a print book! I think it all has to do with the end in sight. I like knowing how many pages are left. Let me back up: I like knowing how many pages the book is! I also like looking ahead to see how much further I have till the next break or chapter. I’m not a fast reader, so these little details of a book reassure me. Granted the Kindle always let me know how many more hours I had in the book or what percentage I was at, but I guess I’m just not used to marking my progress in this way. I’m going to give it one more shot though as the book I want to read next is only accessible to me on my Kindle right now–but more of that later!
