I understand the immersion you are talking about. I think Kindle and the e-readers basically is the extension of the book form; a book delivered on another substrate.

On the other hand, interactivity makes possible the kind of immersion unachievable by non-interactive book. When you pick the knife - it is not the same as when you read that the character picks the knife.

Could you sit down with one of his books and read it on an iPad or kindle?

I'm not sure, I've never had a kindle (and don't do Apple products). I'm pretty sure I'd enjoy a real book more though. I'm getting the kindle because it would make importing English language books here in Italy a lot faster and cheaper.

I was a late reader of his work, read them all on the Kindle. wouldn't be able to do so on th Ipad though.

Why's that?

I can't deal with the glare for the length of a book read, just doesn't feel as comfortable.
