Himself was trying to get me to buy one....and yes, I can see that they are useful if you travel a bit....but recipe books need colourful illustrations to make your mouth water(OK so you don't take cookbooks on holiday...but the thing has to be applicable to all kinds of books)........I wasn't impressed and I didn't buy one....but my blog will tell you more about why.
Horses for courses, Margaret. It's excellent for fiction or similar books which are mainly type. Wouldn't dream of downloading a book or periodical with lots of colour illustrations, as it just wouldn't work. I'll still be getting Playboy at the shop for instance (even though, as I'm always telling Mrs H, I only buy it for the articles).
