I recently discovered ebooks. Actually, I have a couple of ebooks since last year but I can’t bring myself to read them. I feel it’ll strain my eyes or something. I even printed the whole 182 pages of Good Omens so that I can read it comfortably. Last weekend I downloaded a copy of Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince because for once I wanted to read the book first before I watch it on film. I was actually planning of printing it chapter by chapter but when I started reading it via my pc (in the office) I realized it wasn’t so hard after all. I guess all those net surfing paid off, my eyes can stare at the monitor reading articles for hours.
Thing is I got really excited that I downloaded the complete Harry Potter series (I only read The Goblet of Fire and only because my sister Weng got a free copy from a book fair) and the Twilight series. I guess I’m too cheap to buy the books, he.he. And since Buboy is again working from home, he has his own pc and I can use our pc by myself (to read or watch films) when I’m home. Also, I can read some even at the office when things are not so busy. My appreciation to this age’s technology has just gone up a notch.

trying online purchasing
I signed in for an amazon account yesterday. This is so that i can buy "good omens" by neil gaiman. I really want to read one of gaiman's work and my husband who's read six of his novels suggested i start with this particular book. However, neither national bookstore nor powerbooks have it. I am forced to try the internet! I guess i really need to change some along with the times:)
The most i was able to do yesterday was create an account and signed in. Well, i browsed to check if there's the item i want to buy. I wasn't able to put anything in my cart yet. I want to learn the system first before i commit my credit card number. I admit, i sounded cheap:)
At the end of this day, i expect to be able to place my order na. I'm starting to think of getting not just one book but three. Naku, i hope i won't be addicted to on-line purchasing:)
