I don't like the idea of ebooks at all. I like the feel of the book in my hand. It makes me feel more connected to it.

I have some ebooks, mostly those that I find it hard to get in hard copy. I have Metropolis by Thea Von Harbou, Doctor Who: Human Nature by Paul Cornell, Doctor Who: Nightshade by Mark Gatiss, and Doctor Who: Who Killed Kennedy by David Bishop.

Ive never read an ebook before, but I'm so sick of replacing all my favorite books, that I'm probably going to start.

I didn't think I'd get into them but you'd be surprised what happens when you've got nothing to read and you're in a waiting room or on a bus and you remember that you've put some on your blackberry.

I still prefer normal books but with the right reader, ebooks can work.
