Twilight - an experiment

I have just started to read the Twilight quadrilogy, from curiosity as much as anything; so far not bad, no worse than Harry Potter and they are ok. Only up to Chapter four so it is early days yet. E-books are a puzzle, you have to have an e-book reader, or I guess I-pods will take them, but without the reader they aren't that accessible. How many folk have an e-book? There is a woman who gets on the bus, she has one, and I've seen someone else with one, but they aren't exactly everywhere. It doesn't seem right, you pay at least a ton and a half (just found a webpage with money slang) then you have to pay for each book, and they aren't cheap, I mean, it isn't going to pay for itself or anything, is it? I suppose it is eco-friendly, as a tree didn't die to make it, but I just think you should get one free with your first e-book. Is that unreasonable? Is it? Maybe it is. Just had a book recommendation, The Book of Lost books, I will add that to my list to hunt down in Waterstones at lunchtime...
