Hate it…I love the feel of holding a book and turning the pages. Books are portable, they can go anywhere, they don’t crash, the batteries don’t die…etc. Plus there’s the eye strain and headache you get from staring at a computer screen too long.

The 10 year ban is enforced on ALL who have unlawful presence of more than 1 year,while the 3 year ban is for those who have unlawful presence for 6 months it doesn't matter if they overstayed their visa or came over the border illegally,It is the law ! Deportation & then a ban depending on the unlawful presence period would be the correct answer.

Have been doing that for five years now. I often purchase books in electronic format, and read them in my Pocket PC as well. With a handheld device you can literally carry with you hundreds of books. I call them "instant gratification" (no need to wait until I find the time to go to the bookstore, plus the genre I favored for several years was a "niche" served only by epublishers online). This is not a new concept at all, and more and more people are using it. The market is growing as more big publishers are jumping into the electronic format bandwagon.

I have read books online (mind, I couldn’t finish them very quickly because if I stare at the monitor too long my eyes get dry and I also develop the occasional headache), but must agree that the conventional book is a lot more portable.

I can whip out a trusty book from my handbag and read as I eat lunch (presuming I’m doing this alone, which is normally the case), curl up with it on the couch, or beguile the time before sleep comes.

Monitors, alas, fail in the above three areas.

Besides, there is just something pleasing, in a tactile way, about holding a book and turning its pages.

I would like it very much…the size of the font can be increased to a size that is easier to read if someone is having a harder time of reading the smaller print in books and even magazines.

Also many books that are no longer in print could be scanned and once again made available to read.

For many years I have wished I could access the copies of magazines such as Popular Mechanics and Popular Science from the 1920’s through today.

I for one would be very much in favour of such a resource.

That it would be very expensive as I would need to buy a laptop to enable me to continue reading in bed…

That is an awful idea!!
