Ebooks in Gopherspace (reply to dgold)
--------------------------------------

This is just a tiny entry to say that I really enjoyed reading dgold's
post [1] about his family's use of ebooks, particularly as it seems we
have the same feelings w.r.t. DRM and ebook practicality.  To be
honest, I hadn't even considered the environmental consequences of my
reading medium - perhaps when my kids are a bit older (they've just
turned 5) they'll also help me think harder about such things!

And thanks for pointing out KoReader - I didn't even know there was an
option besides the embedded reader.  I might give this a go at some
point, particularly if it lets me avoid some of the front-page reading
suggestions that Kobo pushes at me.  (I keep wifi off and don't spend
much time in the main menu so these aren't usually too distracting,
but it does annoy me that I can't get rid of them in recent builds of
the kobo software.)
