Pattern Recognition, originally uploaded by It’s a mobile world.

People usually ask if I have adapted to read electronically, it seems to look like a big step to leave paper behind.
But my opinion is the advantages are so big that the reverse adaptation is more difficult. I have loaned Pattern Recognition from William Gibson from the library, a book I wanted to read for some time. And well, it is heavy, I get tired of holding it, I can not take it with me for commuting (I could but I would it’s not that easy), I lost the bookmark at night and have to look again the page I was reading.. Well at least is from the library so I don’t need to take it with me in the next moving..

On the other side, the most negative aspect of electronic books I have found is the impossibility of sharing with your friends and family. Now just because there are not so many people using e-readers and then because copyright protections. I miss that social aspect of sharing literature objects.
