but, as I pointed out and explained, several of your other statements were off track. I'm sorry if you took my final statements as a personal attack. They were not intended to be such. The impression you gave was that you were entirely disregarding (despite convenience) the e-book format, for everyone and everything. This (not YOU) is, in my mind, short sighted and close minded. Apparently this is not the impression you meant to give, but apparently Ghav and everynametaken thought it was as well. And we rarely agree on much

And you did not note that your objection was paying for the e-reader itself. Particularly in your circumstance, that's an entirely justified objection...although not worth deriding other people's decisions to make that expenditure. If they can/want to spend that sort of money, it's not really your problem
