This is my feeling exactly. It is a tool for when I want the content of a book for entertainment. I have several hundred at my fingertips. I'm pretty happy with that.

jhocking:
I don't have an e-reader personally, but the people I know with Kindles primarily use them for technical/reference books. Do textbooks come in electronic editions?

OK, so I'm familiar with the other bits (reading ye olde books is an important part of a growing lad's history education), but I don't know this. Can you link to an image of this? (Or point out where it is in what you linked, if I missed it in there...)

pwhodges:
Probably meaning things like the C at the start of "Christ" at the top left of the fourth image down here (yes, that old prayer book is mine).

Elysiana:
I think they mean like the "c" in "Collected" in the very last image - it's got a ligature connecting it to the "t".

p.s. Beautiful book!
