I still read regular books too and do buy discount ones when I can find them or used ones. I do read more I think with my PDN, it is so much easier to read at night in bed, I love the fact I do not have to have a light on at all to read, not disturbing anyone that way. I try to read a lot of free ones from the various sources for free books, plus since it uses epub I can use the library ebooks too. The authors that my husband and I both read we buy in real books since he does not have an ereader.

I've had a Kindle for a couple of years, and I like it. I volunteer at a used bookstore where the books range from 50 cents to $3, so I do buy a lot of them. I read both regular books and Kindle books. But for larger books, like 350 pages and up, it really is handy to have them on the Kindle rather than wrestle with a hunky book. Also the K is more compact to cart around to read waiting anywhere, on the plane, etc. I like to read in bed and the Kindle is good for that too, pages are easier to turn, K easier to hold than a regular book. I'm very selective about purchasing books for the Kindle, usually buying the larger ones. I've watched the free ones over time but have found little there that I like.

KSWL, I bought the book yesterday and finished it today. While I don't think I would read another of the author's books, I have to say the story of "Still Alice" was compelling, and while some of the writing was decidedly amateurish it is not awful. I think, though, that the main draw is that the subject of the book and the protagonist is something a lot of readers will identify with. As for the movie, I won't be seeing that for a few weeks, but the NY'er and NYTimes reviews also said the film sort of flinched rather than being as authentic as it could be. Funny aside, I learned the word "anomia' reading the (2009) book today. It means when you cannot find a word. I recently taught my kids the word "aphasia" and now they tease me that I have aphasia all the time. Anyway, i learned the related word "anomia", and mentioned it to DH over lunch. Then at 5:17pm my DD1 gets her "word of the day" email from Dictionary.com. And the word is ... anomia! Bizarre.
