Well, I just read a book that seemed like perfect e-reader fare: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson. This is super popular, and I liked it, will probably read the follow-up novels, but I’m not quite sure what the great brouhaha is all about. It is, au fond a thriller/mystery with an unusual (to me) setting, Sweden, and one really good character, the dragon tattoo girl. It was entertaining, but no better written than a lot of thrillers, and you could sense him sort of feeling his way in the beginning.
Bottom line is that I liked it and thought it would be perfect e-reader reading– the book copy we have is already a book club edition with cheap paper, fragile and brittle, developing tiny tears. Who needs this kind of physical object? Better to have the flow of the story electronically?
