Bookaholic

Despite have an e-reader, I still find myself inexplicably drawn towards bookstores in the USA & Singapore.

Something about the rows & rows of bookshelves, & browsing through the books according to authors' names, & thumbing through the pages to read snippets of the books before deciding on whether to buy or not....the experience cannot be replicated digitally.

Although now, I have to stop at the stage of thumbing through the pages & remind myself to buy said books online instead.

does the e-reader not detract from the messily pleasant satisfaction of reading several books at once too?

Actually, with the digital bookmark capability, you can do that on my e-reader as well.
However, I am usually not reading several books at once....at most 2 - one for the bathroom & one not!
