Man! I've been avoiding this thread as I haven't had time to catch up on the episode from two weeks ago- finally watched that one and the finale.
I have not yet read any of the books and hadn't before I started the show so I had no grand expectations, or ideas on what would happen. That said- I'm hooked.
I just bought the first book today. My wife's been complaining that I spend to much time on the ipad (then she shouldn't have got me one for fathers day ... and Galaxy of Fire 2 is a cool game) and I should read a book so I picked it up on the way home from school.
Obviously the show has had an effect on sales as the softback cover has the late Mr. Stark on the cover.
Good thing you didn't buy it for the ipad
I looked at it last night and tested the ipad with treasure island, public domain, wasn't bad but I like books.

I always have, and always will, like the feel of a good book in my hands. There's something about the weight and texture that just feels right........
Having said that though, I really like my Kindle. It's thin, light, and a lot easier to haul around than say, the hardback edition of Green Mile or Stranger in a Strange Land. As far as that goes, it's easier to haul than the paperback editions of either book too. It's great for travelling by plane.
We have all the Game of Thrones series on the Kindle and have preordered the next one coming out in July. As soon as it's available, we'll download it and begin reading it.
Did I mention I also like the convenience of the Kindle? I live about 75 miles from the nearest place I'd be able to buy a newly released book in hardback/paperback, but can have the same book in seconds via wireless.
There are other things I like about the Kindle but I won't bother, I'm not trying to change anybody's minds.........but I am going to say, "Don't knock it if you've never tried it cause you just never know, you might come over to the dark side if you did try it"
One last thing. An iPad can't compare to a Kindle in a side-by-side contest. It loses the second you have any sunlight shining on the screen.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.

I am the captain of my soul.

Definitely- my wife bought me an ipad for Christmas, which I rarely use for reading as I prefer books also and it's not very easy on the eyes for long periods of reading (to me atleast). I got her a Kindle for Valentine's day and she's hooked- she's finishing probably an extra two books a month and most of the books are cheaper to download than to buy in a book store.
(Just to stay on topic) When I do get the GoT books, they will be regular books for me...I stare at screens all day at work, I don't want to read a book on my ipad when I get home and she hogs the kindle all the time...
Maybe so, but it's better with porn.
