"Half"is a rather handwavy number in this case. Might be less.

It's Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë for me.

Martin A. "Mak" Sounders - Insourmountable Odds (when stars fall 1)
I guarantee you you have never heard of him, as this is his first book.
Its very, very good for a first work and rivals the work of others with much more experience and "success" how ever one wants to measure it.
I enjoyed it, and am sad that i knew of it before it was even ready, so i have to wait now for ages for the second installment

Sounds interesting, Cornflakes. Perhaps i should start buying a bit of Sci-Fi again for a change

Meh =( Then i have to wait ._.
I prefer my books made of paper, ebooks will need some time until they can recreate that unique smell and the feeling of the touch you have with a real book (Especially that great smell
)

The smell is easily solvable:
1) Buy e-reader
2) Buy some old book that smells nice and that is larger than the e-reader
3) cut hole in the pages of the book to fit e-reader in
4) You now have a cover for the e-reader that smells and feels like a real book

I mean an old book that you would never read otherwise

In that case i wouldn't want to put a ebook in there XD. Perhaps I'd make a normal case that just looks like a book and put it to my other books so it takes on the smell *shrug*

The big, big advantage of ebooks is that you can carry so many of them at once
You can try carrying as much books in your backpack as I have but I don't recommend it

You might not recommend it but primary schoolers have to do it each day

My school backpack was always so heavy that every time I put the thing on the gorund after going to school or back home from there my body felt weightless, that I could somewhat fly...
