might be time to try a kindle or some sort of tablet but I'm a bit of a traditionalist!

Me too. My daughter bought me a kindle but I don't use it.

I wish it was easier to find books in large print. They often say "a large print edition is available" but God knows where you find them. It seems like they are using smaller and smaller fonts to save on paper.

That's where a kindle helps, you can simply change the text size.

Yes I read loads of books but I could get inspired by a Kindle at all

I would never do that. I like holding, feeling and smelling a real book.
Another joy you don't get with a Kindle is finding things between the pages.
I've found shopping lists, airline tickets and even receipts for the purchase of the book I'm reading.

Agreed. The strangest thing I found was in a book containing prints of old household items and advertisements (I buy and sell books as well as reading). It was a publisher's copy and there was a note inside which had obviously been passed between staff in the publisher's office. It said that <a person> had made a copyright claim of £50 for using 3 of his images in the book and that "we should pay, because it's a bargain as we've actually used five of his images".

her book No Logo is also well worth a read. Few years old now but still relevant.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who likes the smell of books especially new ones. Although I get funny looks in WHSmiths !
