Welcome to the digital world

I was on a train to work the other day and sitting between a 16 and 65. They were both on their books and guess who's using what? The lady on my right was obviously in her 60s and surprisingly she's holding a digital reader by Amazon - Kindle, thanks to the wonders of media advertising, one like her would appreciate an innovation of this kind. And to my bewilderment, a teenage boy who sat on my left was holding a 3-inch hard-cover book!!! Though I could understand it may be a text book or something but two of them just looked century apart, the other way round.

Personally, I am more into Nook (also an eReader) sold by a bookstore chain, Barnes & Noble. The latest model has a 3G & Wi-Fi features.

Guess I am someone in between the 2 of them, not just in terms of age but also the way I read, cos I still read physical books and also on the net for information, I have not yet introduced myself to eReader..*__* but soon will be..
