Same thing with a bait-and-switch at Best Buy the other day ... DH had found a cable on sale online, of course none of the stores had it in stock even though the consumer-side website said they did - but they did have very nice cables starting at four times the price! No thanks. Showed the clerk the SKU number on the website, ordered the cable, walked out with NOTHING else.
And I'm doing plenty of reading. More than I had in a while, actually - thanks to my iPad and Sony Reader. Yes, I do regret the energy usage. But not enough to carry another couple of pounds everywhere I go - it DOES make a difference. I have a couple of paper books in my stack, that I just can't seem to get around to.
The iPad animates page turning, very faithfully. Sometimes I find it a little bit creepy ... other times, if I get distracted from what I'm reading, I might just sit there and curl the page back and forth, side to side.
