Ebooks, anyone read them?

I have attempted to read a few books on Adobe and it is just hard to curl up to a laptop. There is no way I could do it on my PC. I decided to see if there were any torrents for Ebooks on mininova and on just one torrent was the following Ebooks. I guess I can try and curl up to my laptop again. I guess I could also find the book I was interested in and print it, but that seems like a huge waste of an ink cartridge. Anybody actually read Ebooks, or do you think this will be something that just slowly dies out.

I've read plenty of ebooks.

Although ...

A laptop or worse, a PC is a difficult place to relax with a good novel.

However, I have read a few Clive Cussler novels on my Palm Pilot. Lots easier and in my opinion better than a paperback because you don't have to lug them around on the go. I use my Palm for a lot of things anyway so packing a few books on the Palm is a nice plus.

I have heard that with todays technology, the Palm Pilot will become extinct. Many reasons are that you can buy an iPhone and have the same capability plus a whole lot more. As for ebooks for the PC and Laptop, I dunno.

Hmmmmmmmmmm

I have been reading this forum quite a bit on my HTC Touch phone. It never occured to me to use it to read Ebooks. I will have to give it a go. It is an 8GB system so loading individual books on it should be no problem.... actually I should just pick up a SD card and load them onto that an slid it into the phone.
