No paperback, can do that.

The really nice thing about an e-book, however, is that it is always with you. Don’t have to remember to carry it along, so you always have it when you are stuck with a bit of down time at the airport, in a taxi, on the train, etc.

Mobipocket is a nice program. Wish I had more memory on my 7520 to load some larger books though.

Dykema Thu, 29 Mar 2007 22:23:52 +0000 http://www.blackberrycool.com/2007/03/29/004003/#comment-110316 I have 3 e-books in my Mobipocket Reader library so far, and if the books I wanted were available for the BlackBerry, I would be done with buying physical books. It’s easier to hold my BlackBerry than a dead-tree book, and I don’t have those books taking up space in my home. I can easily read the text on my small 7130e screen, though it would be nicer to have a larger screen that would show more of the text at one time. I’m not distracted by every e-mail because I’ve set my filters to flash only for my most important and urgent e-mails.
