I agree with all but still love my books spead all over the place. No need for electricty, power etc. Read it in bed, the small library, the deck. Spead it out for all to see Yeah. Sorry , even though I'v been IT for 40 yeards, I'm not a fan of the ebook, Its not right that companies charge the same for physical or digital copies and expect YOU to print it. Dooling over giant plans & photos does not compatre to an Ipad view or oops the the battery went flat just as you wre reading something. Magazines I agree are one the way out. The problem is nothing new and repeated info. Its a shame caused I loved my local newsagent and partworks each week, comic books to peruse etc. it was an adventure. now I can do it is 10 minutes on the web, but theres no magic, no presence, no feel of the page under your fingers or the weight of th books belaying the knowledge inside.
On another note entirely.
MOST importantly I think that other forums need to keep up with SOS. They are becoming stale with the same build, same make over and over with very little variation.( Maybe its the Admins and the restrictive attitude.). I have not been here long ( 2 years) and the breadth of information , variety of kits and open freindlness with no barriers is the backbone and joy of this forum.
