This is interesting, I havn't seen one before.
Jeff Lobaugh06-Jan-2010 02:24
A real 'page turner' eh?
Guest 06-Jan-2010 01:10
Nicely captured... I like how everything feels traditional about this except the book itself and also how you've blurred the words.
Ronald Bijtenhoorn05-Jan-2010 21:17
Like this composition of the e-book
Doug Cruden05-Jan-2010 19:23
Sorry, I have to agree with the others, too! A real book is the only way to go!! I do like the shot though, Bob - your PoV almost makes it look like we're peering over the reader's shoulder :o))
Michael Shpuntov05-Jan-2010 18:43
Mighty kindle :-) The keypad is probably used to re-write the parts of the book that readers don't like. With book it was pretty hard to do he, he :-) Just kidding. Could not resist. Excellent shot Bob.

Aha, modern times. Well done.
Guest 05-Jan-2010 09:56
A good one for this Challenge.
Guest 05-Jan-2010 09:51
never actually seen one of these before. well shot with the writing blurred, makes us wounder what they are reading!
Bernard Davis05-Jan-2010 09:29
The words are important, but the feel of a book still does it for me. I have a Sony eReader, and while its very good, I still read old fashioned books as well.
Nice shot.
Mieke WA Minkjan05-Jan-2010 06:34
looks interesting...but I can't read it..
borisalex05-Jan-2010 06:03
Great idea! Like the way you show it!
Carl and Racine Erland05-Jan-2010 05:43
Nicely done...the b&w makes this look like 'old' technology....intersting!
Hernan E. Enriquez05-Jan-2010 05:37
Nice shot but....most of my reading is online but there is no replacing a book!
Ann...05-Jan-2010 05:08
Lovely composition which shows off this very modern marvel…..not sure if I could do without the page turning and the feel of the paper…….
Nancy Good05-Jan-2010 03:12
I like how you brought us into this scene. I, too, can't imagine reading on one of these, though I guess we've conditioned ourselves to doing just that by all the reading we do here on the Net.
Timothy Guenther05-Jan-2010 03:02
Websites like this one are replacing the old photo books - at least as far as sharing our photos with each other around the world. So, I suppose these electronic thingys are the wave of the future, but I hope I never have an electronic coffee table!
Walter Otto Koenig05-Jan-2010 02:31
As a Bibliophile and diagnosed Bibliomaniac, this would certainly take some getting used to for me. Nice shot from this angle showing the connection between reader and e-book.
Yvonne05-Jan-2010 01:58
A little lighter to hold than a heavy book no doubt! Love the feeling on intimacy captured.
Fay Stout05-Jan-2010 01:41
Technology is amazing, but I love having a real book in my hands and sitting on the shelf!
Guest 05-Jan-2010 01:40
I actually prefer the "feel" of a real book. However, an e-reader does have a place, and I have really enjoyed mine! Won't give up the real book though. I have a nightstand full of them thanks to Christmas!
LynnH05-Jan-2010 01:17
Very nice shades of light throughout the scene! I like the POV, peeking over the shoulder.
Ray :)05-Jan-2010 00:56
Save our books;-)
carol j. phipps05-Jan-2010 00:55
Excellent monochrome! I, too find that I prefer the paper page. Guess it gets some getting used to.
Jola Dziubinska05-Jan-2010 00:45
Too modern for me, paper book keeps the mood. Excellent photo, though.
Jim Stone05-Jan-2010 00:39
It's more fun to fall asleep over (or under) a good paperback - they don't break when you drop them or run out of batteries while you're sleeping...like the shot alot.
Jim
Cindi Smith05-Jan-2010 00:14
Cool.....but I'll stick to the old paperbacks.....can't afford one of these!
Barbara Heide04-Jan-2010 23:26
high tec... I do prefer real books...
J. Scott Coile04-Jan-2010 23:23
How would Bob Seger have ever sung "turn the page" :-) So techy!
Phillip Normanton04-Jan-2010 23:19
I'm still undecided... and where would I stick my bookmarks?!? :o)
Faye White04-Jan-2010 23:13
I love mine! I need to get the mini light though... :)
Available Light Images04-Jan-2010 22:26
I always considered getting one of those as I travel a lot, but I just love the smell of paper!!! great shot...
Guest 04-Jan-2010 22:05
Nicely done.
Stephanie04-Jan-2010 21:56
This is a wonderful idea for the challenge!
Ed McConnell04-Jan-2010 21:40
hi-tech black and white..good idea and shot Bob..
Nicki Thurgar04-Jan-2010 21:33
Hmmm, I'm interested in one of these but not sure if I could give up the feel of a real book!
