The reluctant e-book reader

I have managed to read three books in the last month. I was afraid I had become a bookworm who doesn't read, then I downloaded the Kindle App on my iPad and suddenly I am going through a book a week. I have become an e-book reader.
For most people who discovered the convenience of e-readers some time back this is not worthy of a blog post, but I resisted for the longest time to turn to the dark side - clearly I am still not entirely won over- and only in the last month have I begun to appreciate the convenience offered by technology.

I was quite happy to download my issues of Vanity Fair, National Geographic and a few other junk reads we won't mention. After all, this is how these publications were meant to be read. They are called glossies for a reason. Then I downloaded Breaking Dawn for my daughter (Ok, I sneaked a peak and according to my daughter that now makes me a a Twi-Hard). Suddenly I have ploughed through three books in a month. Given my constraints with time - or at least that had been the excuse up until now, I am thrilled.
But now I am back to paperback.

My e-reading high is down and once again I want to feel the weight of a book in my hand and smell the pages - although they really have no smell because we are not talking about books kept in musty libraries anymore. I have yet to learn to cuddle up with my iPad; Not really inviting, it's cold and hard.
My husband suggested I subscribe to one of our newspapers online and that was probably what brought my high down. I really do like the rustle of the newspaper on Sunday mornings, when it's cold out and you're savouring a slow morning of coffee and croissants. I take great joy in reading the paper  through to the last page, without the distraction of side articles and further readings which end up in my reading close to four newspapers at a time.

So now I am bookmarking - with an actual bookmark, and enjoying a book that Amazon has gone to great pains to remind me that, people who ordered The Finkler Question  also liked The Remains of the Day and The Sense of an Ending. Those two I downloaded - I didn't say I was completing off my new drug, just in rehab. I am not about to initiate a discourse on the demise of the paper book, but I am wondering, Will reading bedtime stories to my kids on an iPad make them lovers of reading and books? Or should some things like the 'traditional' bedtime story remain sacred - without links and backlit screens?

What are your thoughts?
