Bryan James replied to Bryan James's discussion Book vs. E-Readers in the group I sniff books"Gosh, I haven't been on Nerd Fighter for a while, sorry bout not replying earlier. In reading over my original comment I am struck by the thought of how I came across so many good books in a thrift store and how digital companies such as…"
Harrison replied to Bryan James's discussion Book vs. E-Readers in the group I sniff books"I think that e-readers are great tools for people to use for reading. Like John once said, "I don't care how people read, I care if they read." Personally, though, I prefer books to e-readers. There is a certain satisfaction that…"
Isobel Talya replied to Bryan James's discussion Book vs. E-Readers in the group I sniff books"That's actually what I use my eReader for mostly.

Bryan James replied to Jackalope Joe D'Antonio's discussion Oh Fan fiction in the group Writer Nerdfighters!"I would have to say I agree with Carissa, but also acknowledge that I've never actually read much fan fiction. Personally as I am working towards my own writing I think I would find it flattering. But I wouldn't want it to be…"
Bryan James replied to The Hunt's discussion Where Do You Fit? in the group GSA (Gay Straight Alliance)"I would say that I identify my gender as male and my sexuality as being gay.

Book vs. E-Readers
Lately I have been really thinking over my total embrace of the Amazon Kindle and whether there is some intrinsic value in a physical printed book.
