Kindle/ordinary books
Which do you prefer?I have always enjoyed reading and took some persuading that a Kindle would be a good substitute for an ordinary book. However, once I overcame that hurdle I wouldn't go back to the paper variety .
It is so easy to download the books of my choice, which are of course delivered instantly to one's Kindle. The only problem I have with reading, Kindle or otherwise, is that I get through books too quickly. As a teenager, for a bit of fun I did a speed reading course, so I can read a book easily in two days, if not more quickly. I guess I spend about £60 a month on books!

Re: Kindle/ordinary books
I got a Kindle fairly recently. I use it exclusively for non-fiction, as I get my fiction either from the library or charity shops. I like to read a chapter or so before making a decision on getting a book, as I am extremely fussy about fiction, and only read the occasional novel.My friends keep telling me about the cheap deals you can get on novels for Kindle, but I'm not interested, I only find a novel I actually want to read about once or twice a year.
I do find the Kindle extremely useful for non-fiction subjects I am interested in, though. I spend nowhere near the amount you mentioned on books. Probably about £15 or so, averaged out.

Kindle and other e-readers might be ok for some but there are those of us that just prefer the old fashioned paper book..
