let me start by telling you how honored I feel to have my ebook mentioned as a recommended work by you, Lillie! And now.. to the point: I rarely download ebooks – I prefer reading everything online (Google books is excellent for this). When it’s impossible to read online, then yes, I download – sites I trust are Omniture and Sitepoint (obviously the themes are related to my are of expertise). I prefer reading belletristic in the old-fashioned print format. I prefer buying books and creating a cozy library for myself and my family.

I didn’t realize people printed out e-books, but Liz said she does the same thing. It’s strange that we look at everything from our own perspective. Since I don’t read print, I never thought about other people preferring it. Like you, I hope to hear how other people read e-books.

This is an interesting series Lillie. I steer well clear of the guru books. Anything that comes advertised in a high pressure sales page – typically with red and blue print, yellow highlighting and letters large enough to scream at you is on my “Do not pass go” list.

With the free books or inexpensively priced ebooks, I download and print them, then highlight and annotate. Then I go back and read them again on the screen – just the highlighted parts and also click on any links I’ve marked. I’d be interested to hear how others handle reading and getting the most out of an ebook.

I can’t read the whole book on the screen, but I have it there as a reference.

I look forward to the next post in this series.
