Barry, yes I love my vinyl and recently bought a new turntable and amp, and thinking about this I realised that as I get older the possessions I like most are those without a plug on and built to last - my binoculars, cider press, bicycle, fishing rod, guitar etc. But I've also got an iPod.

I guess I'm happy with that as it doesn't need the same concentration as reading a book and fits in with lots of other activities
One thought I have had in reading about these devices is that invariably only ficition is mentioned, does anyone use them for reading non-fiction?
