As most of you know, I am an avid reader. Give me a good who done it or a terrifying thriller and I am basking in glory.

Last year, I invested in an e-reader. Not just because it was a cool gadget (which it most definitely is), but because it made my reading experience better. I could pack as many books onto my reader as I wanted when I went on holiday - without having to take a suitcase just for my reading material. I could adjust the print size (the eyes aren't what they used to be). And I could browse the book sections without ever having to go through the hassle of finding a parking space downtown.

I chose the Bookeen CyBook Gen 3 reader because of it's ink technology, no glare screen, and it's ability to read any e-book from any of the e-book providers. I love that it has a leather cover and is the same size as a small hardcover edition.

But it made me wonder how e-readers will affect the printed page.

So, naturally, i googled my concern. Seems like I am not the only one asking the question.
