[NA-Discuss] Ebooks and Audio Recordings

[Peter Knight]

I agree, Glenn. I only purchase physical books if no eBook is available. No
place for more books, plus the benefits you mention. In most if you click
on a footnote, you go there directly and can return to where you were
reading with one click. Another advantage.

Cheers,

Peter
