One of my favorite things to do is go to a book store, buy a latte, and peruse the book shelves. I love holding a book in my hands and flipping pages and the satisfaction of snapping the book covers shut when finished.
So I wasn't keen on electronic reading devices and told Rob not to buy me one as a gift when they first hit the market a few years ago. But my parents generously gave me an Amazon Kindle as a Christmas gift last year, and I have to admit, I'm in love. 
It's easy to read, pages flip with a click, the battery life is amazingly long, it's lightweight and I can browse the web on it.
I just finished reading "A Place of Yes" by Bethenny Frankel (loved it!) and when I'm ready for my next book, I simply click a button, search the Kindle store, and download books in an instant.
The really great thing is, books for the Kindle and other electronic reading devices are priced much lower than physical books. So not only do you have a world of books, magazines and newspapers at your fingertips, it's all available at a discount.
Of course, I'll still buy actual books, and I won't read magazines on it because the Kindle isn't in color, but it's a great toy for avid readers, and it doesn't take up any more space on your packed bookshelves.
Bonus - You can hold it and turn pages with just one hand and use the other hand to sip wine, or in my case, Celestial Seasonings Blood Orange Starfruit Green Tea sweetend with a little Agave nectar.
Happy reading!
