Well, I did win an e-book not so long ago and I can see the value for information-texts but no, I’ve never really tried ebooks.

I mainly have health reasons though. I sit two feet from a computer monitor a minimum of 8 hours a day. Reading on a screen for pleasure or education isn’t very exciting at the end of the day.

Plus, I like to read on the couch.

They’ve been gradually adding these features and some of them I haven’t noticed. But I have enjoyed using the ’suspend’ and ’send next installment.’ I like that you can ask for a specific installment now. That’s a nice feature.

For me, this is a way of slowly inching toward getting ebooks. I’ve never bought one before, though there are some that have interested me, but I’m still at the wet ankles phase at the moment.

I’m guessing you’ve never bought an ebook? Or, have you tried it and hated it?

Hey, Dawn. Have you tried out any of the new features at DailyLit?

I use Daily Lit to finish those books I would like to have read but don't really enjoy that much. I could not have finished Turn of the Screw if not for Daily Lit. I had tried it three times before without success. Vanity Fair turns out to be perfect in small chunks and a lot more fun than I remembered. But Dante's Paradise still didn't work for me, though I loved Inferno and liked Purgatory.
