But the convenience and technology are just too tempting. Consider: You don't have to drive anywhere to buy an ebook, or wait to have it delivered. You simply download it. As for the technology, a well designed ebook lets you hop (via links) to the parts of the book you want to read. Live links can also take the reader immediately to online destinations. Then there is the ecology issue. Yes, it takes energy to run a computer, but you've saved part of a tree and possibly space in the landfill when you download an ebook to your computer! Last, if you live near water, which many people do, you have to deal with mildew getting into the pages of your books and broadcasting an unpleasant scent from the book shelves. A computer never smells! I agree that it takes some time to acclimate yourself to reading a book on a computer screen. But the convenience and technology are just too tempting.

I tried to use it to produce books for my business, which includes short stories for children. The quality was awful. Yes, it's cheap--but you get what you pay for. Lulu is a lulu.
